Zoe was stunned by the info. She felt an uncomfortable knot in her stomach. If Brandon really married into the Dudley family, it would boost the Donovan family's status even more.
And that meant her chances of competing with Athena were slipping away. She felt the gap between her and Athena growing wider, her hopes dimming.
On the other side, Brandon didn't even spare Laney a glance. He looked at Lindsay with a soft smile. "The party is about to start. Let's grab a seat. You're probably hungry."
Lindsay smiled back, her expression warm. "Okay."
As they walked a few steps, a famous entrepreneur and her daughter walked over. The mother, in her fifties or sixties, was healthy and radiant. The daughter, dressed in designer clothes, was in her thirties or forties and gave off an incredibly friendly vibe.
When the mother and daughter saw Lindsay, they greeted her warmly. "Lindsay, long time no see! If I knew you were here, I would've come over sooner."
Lindsay smiled politely. "Hello, Mrs. Ziegler, Jasmine, you both look great! I almost didn't recognize you."
Jasmine smiled back. "Didn't you apply for immigration? What are you still doing in Kitmore City?" She looked surprised. "If I'd known, I would've asked you to grab coffee every day."
Lindsay's heart sank at the unintended impact of her words. She cursed quietly to herself, wanting to stop Jasmine from going further, but it was too late.
Brandon had already pulled his arm away and shot her a look—no smile, just a mix of confusion and indifference.
Panicked, Lindsay forced a smile at Madeline Ziegler and Jasmine. "I think my boyfriend dropped something. I'll go help him find it, but I'll catch up with you later."
She quickly pulled Brandon aside. "Brandon, listen, it's not like what she said."
Brandon stayed calm. "Okay, talk to me."
"Well, it's—" Lindsay opened her mouth to explain, but the words got stuck. She knew she couldn't deny it—Jasmine was right.
Lindsay had applied for immigration. She couldn't just pretend she had not.
Brandon paused before giving her a slight smile. "You know I'll never move away, right? You know I'm not marrying someone from another country, but you applied for immigration behind my back. And you were planning to keep it a secret, huh?"
"I—" Lindsay started, but she struggled to finish. After a long pause, she sighed. "I did apply for immigration, but it doesn't change how I feel about you."
"Even if I get citizenship from Aeloria, I'll still be here, with you. I'll stay, I'll work with you, and I'll build a future with you."
Brandon gave a small smile. "You actually think that kind of life is appealing?"
"You want to live abroad, but I only want to stay here. Even when I die, I want to be buried in my hometown. We want completely different things."
"No, we don't." Lindsay replied quickly, "A lot of people from Osceiton to marry foreigners. Where we live after marriage doesn't matter. I could totally live here forever—"
Brandon cut her off, his gaze sharp. "So, you're saying you think of yourself as a foreigner, then?"
And that meant her chances of competing with Athena were slipping away. She felt the gap between her and Athena growing wider, her hopes dimming.
