?Chapter 494:


    Rhoda grabbed her phone and said, “I’ll call Derek first.” She panicked upon learning that Madeline had fainted and was taken to the hospital.


    “Coen, Madeline is in the hospital. I’m really worried about her.”


    Coen also cared deeply for Madeline. Actually, he loved all his daughters very much. He never pushed them to marry anyone wealthy but encouraged them to choose their beloved ones.


    “Don’t worry, the lunch won’t take long. Just try to befriend his wife. I’ll wrap up the business as soon as possible.”


    Building a good rtionship with the Morris family was crucial. Coen didn’t want to miss this opportunity. If Rhoda could bond well with Mrs. Morris, the Powell family would be the first choice for future coborations. That was why he took Rhoda to lunch.


    “Madeline is pregnant and she fainted. It’s serious,” Rhoda said, her voice full of concern.


    She wanted to be there for Madeline.


    Coen suppressed his emotions and said, “She’s getting married. To ensure she’s respected by the Carter family, we need this coboration to go smoothly.”


    Rhoda wiped her tears and nodded, saying, “Yes, you’re right.”


    For a married woman, her situation often depended on her parents’ influence. After all, there was no guarantee that a man would treat his wife the same after marriage. “Come on, let’s focus on the coboration. No more tears.”

    In a private room:


    “Phillip mentioned that Alice had already eaten and won’t be joining us.”


    “Okay.”


    “Norah, what do you think they’ll choose, Madeline or the coboration?”


    As Susanna poured tea, she said, “I think they’ll go for the coboration. Just by looking at Madeline, I can tell her parents aren’t good people.”


    Although she had never met them before, she could sense their ill intentions when she met Coen’s eyes.


    Norah took a sip of tea. She had been talking so much during the event that she hadn’t even had a chance to drink anything.


    “Whatever they choose.”


    “But I feel like they don’t like you. Have you met them before?”


    On the way here, Sean had heard from Susanna about what had just happened. It involved Derek again. He couldn’t understand why Norah always encountered people rted to him.


    Norah pursed her lips and set down her teacup. “They’re Madeline’s parents. We’ve met before.”
