Greta felt a sharp sting of bitterness in her chest, silently resenting the unfairness of fate.

On the other hand, Lilith didn't feel anything. Neither envy nor jealousy clouded her mind. However, she could tell something was off with Greta. The two had always been close, their contrasting personalities complementing each other.

"Are you interested in Brenna's boyfriend?" Lilith asked Greta.

Greta huffed, folding her arms in frustration. "Even though I am interested in him, there's nothing I could do about it. How can I possibly measure up to Brenna when it comes to family background and talent?”

Lilith grabbed her wrist and tugged her toward the courtyard. "Come on, let's get something to eat. I heard the Harper family brought top-tier chefs from luxury hotels, and the ingredients are from overseas. It would be a waste not to try the food."

Greta followed Lilith, looking in a bad mood. In the western corner of the courtyard, a brand-new barbecue station had been set up, with people gathered around, happily skewering their food and handing it over to the cook. Within minutes, the skewers were sizzling on the grill.

The mouthwatering aroma of the barbecue drifted through the air, spreading in every direction.

Standing at the bottom of the steps, Greta and Lilith glanced back and forth at the tempting dishes, unable to make up their minds. Finally, they chose to have ice cream cake first and then barbecue.

Greta kept sneaking glances toward the doorway, but Ethan was nowhere to be seen. She had hoped for a chance to talk to him more or maybe even exchange contact details with him.

But more than thirty minutes had passed, and there was still no sign of Ethan. A sinking feeling crept in as Greta began to wonder if she would ever see him again. It was rare for her to like someone. She had just taken an interest in Ethan, only to realize they were from different worlds.
