Chapter 209 You're Amazing

Brenna couldn't help but notice that both Greta and Lilith were quite captivated by Ethan. They seemed unable

to look away from him, particularly Greta, who stared at him intently for a

prolonged period.

Lilith, though briefly intrigued, soon reverted to focusing on her phone.

Greta leaned towards her mother and whispered, “Mom, I'm going to talk to Brenna and her friend now."

Danika offered a small nod, deliberately ignoring the admiration shining in her daughter's eyes. She knew her daughter all too well-her expectations were so high that even the brightest minds at the National Research Institute rarely caught her attention.

"Go ahead," she said with a nod.

Greta gave a small smile and approached Brenna, asking politely, "Brenna, would you introduce us?"

Ethan, setting aside his usually rare smile, stood next to Brenna and extended his arm.

Brenna linked her arm with his and introduced him to Greta. "This is Ethan, my boyfriend."

Greta's smile broadened as she reached out to shake Ethan's hand, saying, "I'm Greta, a graduate student at Laguna Bay University. It's nice to meet you. I've seen you on financial talk shows before. You're quite a talented entrepreneur, and I really admire that."
