She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 407

Most people thought women looked better with long hair than with short, and not many could pull off short hair. But Lindsay was one of the exceptions.

Her short hair worked for her. It didn't hide her face or features and made them stand out even more. Her eyes were bright and full of life.

With her tall frame and that sharp sapphire blue suit, she looked even more impressive-totally fitting for a room full of entrepreneurs. Compared to her, Laney seemed a little more delicate, not as imposing.

Lindsay walked up to Brandon, held his arm, then turned to Sebastian. "Feelings aren't something to compare or show off. But you sure love to compete, huh? Who's richer, who's got more status. You think everyone with less money or power should be stepped on." She raised an eyebrow. "So, when you meet someone richer or more important, do you really think they should just look down on you? Shouldn't you have enough dignity and backbone to not be desperate for their approval?"

"Well said!" The crowd murmured in agreement, impressed by her words.

Sebastian, clearly frustrated, couldn't keep his cool anymore. "You've got a sharp tongue, just like Brandon," he snapped. "If you've got the guts, tell me your name and who you are. Let's see if dignity and backbone really get you anywhere." Lindsay smiled sweetly. "I'm Lindsay Dudley. I went to school with Brandon before going abroad. We've known each other for seven years."

'Lindsay Dudley?' As Sebastian opened his mouth to say he didn't know her, someone from the crowd cut him off, saying, "Wait, isn't that Mr. Dudley's daughter?"

"Yes, it is Mr. Dudley's daughter!" another voice added, surprised. "I didn't expect her to show up at this kind of event, and that she's Brandon's girlfriend!"

"Isn't the gap between them too big? Do you think the Dudley family will be okay with this?" someone whispered.
