Chapter 224
Joanne angrily stomped behind them, her gaze sweeping toward Uncle Mason.
Chris keenly noticed this and also looked toward Uncle Mason’s direction, who slightly nodded to Joanne, signaling her to keep following them.
At first, Joanne hesitated a little, but then she saw Collin and Jaden holding hands and whispering.
Jaden, a man, actually had a look of gentle annoyance in his eyes as if blaming Collin slightly, and then Collin indulgently lifted his hand to lightly tap Jaden’s nose.
Such a pampering gesture.
Joanne couldn’t help but blame the other members of the Phillips family in her heart.
If they hadn’t sent Collin abroad for so many years, Collin and she would have grown up together, and Jaden wouldn’t have the chance to be with Collin.
She truly liked Collin.
When she was young and experiencing her first feelings, she didn’t understand what liking someone really meant, nor what it meant to be unable to live without that person.
By the time she saw Collin on international news, it was already too late.
“Does Joanne really listen to Uncle Mason?” Indya asked curiously.
Chris said, “It’s not that she listens to Uncle Mason, but only Uncle Mason can offer support. If Joanne wants to be with Collin, she has to go through Uncle Mason.”
But no matter how much she tried, Uncle Mason had no say with Collin, and Collin had no need to care about the opinions of other members of the Phillips family‘.
He could be with whoever he wanted.
That was Collin’s right.
“She’s just a little girl. I’m not angry, really,” Jaden said to Collin. “As a man, if I were to get jealous over a little girl, that would be really childish of me.”
Collin said, “But I want you to get jealous, no matter if it’s a man or a woman.”
Thomas and Lynsey found a place to rest, surrounded by several familiar people.
By now, everyone in the circle knew that Michael was the CEO of Aitairy, Elfa, and they all congratulated them, saying they had raised a good son.
Thomas’s face showed no expression, but he felt uneasy deep down.

They hadn’t been able to contact their “good son” in days.
Whenever they called, only an assistant answered, speaking in a language they couldn’t understand, and immediately refused them.
They were clearly resentful.
“That brat still hasn’t come back. I told him the domestic market for Aitairy was too limited and hard to do business in, but he wouldn’t listen,” Thomas complained to his friends.
“The market is saturated now and can’t be divided any further,” one person said, raising his chin toward Collin. “Hurricane Media has already returned to the country. If Aitairy comes back, what position would
the others have?”
“That’s true. I don’t know what that brat is thinking. Now that the kid is grown up, he just won’t listen. I
have no other choice.”
Lynsey, however, was still very happy.
