Chapter 222 Linsey Isn''t A


    Prize To Be Won


    Collin remainedposed, his voice even as he responded, "What''s the issue with following my wife''s suggestions without any resistance? Linsey genuinely cares about me, and I''m content to let her be in charge."


    He then teased Dustin. "That''s more than I can say for you. Have you even found a woman who can keep you in line? You''ve flitted from one rtionship to another and still haven''t found someone to settle down with."


    Dustin''s expression tightened at the pointed remark.


    It was a hard truth. Throughout the years, Dustin had wandered from one fleeting romance to the next, yet none of those rtionships had blossomed into something real. Each woman was drawn to his wealth and status, hoping to gain his


    favor.


    This pattern had led him to a deep skepticism about love, culminating in his decision to remain unmarried.


    By stark contrast, Linsey''s love for Collin was heartfelt. She looked beyond his material possessions and his challenges, focusing instead on supporting him as his wife.


    Indeed, Collin was a lucky man.


    The more Dustin pondered this, the more his irritation grew. He retorted, "Collin, are you truly so sure Linsey will always


    be there for you?"


    Hisugh was hollow. "Watch out. I might just charm her away from you."


    His words were impulsive, but the immediate shift in Collin''s demeanor was unmistakable–his voice grew icy. "You dare?"


    Dustin stiffened as Collin''s piercing gaze bore into him, sending an icy shiver down his spine. Dustin hurriedly backpedaled.


    "No, no, I was only joking!"


    He knew a confrontation with Collin could escte quickly.


    Trying to defuse the situation, Dustin quickly added, "Remember, Collin, Linsey asked you to treat me well since I''m a guest. She would be upset to hear you were harsh with me. She''s put so much into this family, and you''re not even cooperating. She might end up crying over this!"


    Collin inhaled deeply, working to calm his rising anger. After a brief pause, he replied coldly, "I''ll overlook it this time."


    But before Dustin could feel relieved, Collin added sternly, "But bear in mind, Linsey isn''t a prize to be won. Avoid making such jokes in the future, or you might regret it."


    Dustin was taken aback, not expecting his casual remark to strike such a nerve.


    In retrospect, Dustin acknowledged his rash behavior.


    Linsey was Collin''s cherished partner, not a person to be toyed with.

    Dustin wiped the cold sweat from his brow, overwhelmed by a creeping fear he couldn''t dismiss.


    Collin had masked his true temperament so effectively in Linsey''s presence that even Dustin had nearly forgotten how daunting he could be.


    It wasmon knowledge in Grester that provoking the founder of CR Corporation was a grave mistake.


    Dustin exhaled slowly, reminding himself to tread more carefully in the future.


    Observing Collin''s deep affection for Linsey, Dustin understood that even if he upset Collin, he couldn''t risk alienating


    Linsey.


    Deciding to steer clear of the precarious subject, Dustin swiftly changed the topic. "Right, right, I almost forgot. I came to


    you today for something important-really important."


    Collin cast him a wary look. "Spit it out."


    Dustin''s expression grew grave. "Gorman is returning to Grester."


    At this news, Collin paused. "Gorman''s been overseas for years. What''s bringing him back to Grester now?"
