Chapter 1002: Brenna chuckled. "I'm not getting back with Ethan. My parents would never agree to it. Last night, they went on and on about him. They said they couldn't find a single good thing in him and that he was useless except for his money. But we've got our own wealth. I don't need his money." Patrick, swinging his legs on the chair, asked Brenna, "Brenna, did you change boyfriends again?" Brenna said, "Kids shouldn't be asking about grown-up stuff." "I'm not a kid anymore!" Patrick retorted. "I'm almost six years old. In six months, I'll be in first grade." "Everything here tastes wonderful,” Elsa remarked, her mood soaring. Seeing her son finally end things with Brenna had left her feeling happy. Now, she could introduce him to new, more suitable women.
She believed Gracie, who was sitting across from her now, was a good match for her son. After researching Gracie's background online, she found that not only did she have an impressive education, but she had also served as the Vice President of the Wilson Group and was now the CEO of its Vanland division. Her looks were outstanding, and her management skills were top-notch. Elsa believed she was much better than Brenna, who had grown up with the Barrett family.

So, when Elsa had invited her to a meal, she had agreed without hesitation and even bought Elsa a new designer handbag as a gift.
She had no concerns about Hector making an appearance here. He was tied up right now, locked in a meeting with the Wilson Group's executives that wouldn't wrap up until later in the evening.
She had long let go of the idea of reclaiming the Wilson Group by herself. What she needed now was Ethan's help, and Elsa was the key to getting closer to Ethan.
Earlier that morning, once Hector had left for his meeting, Gracie had called Ethan, wanting to see him. He'd turned her down, citing a major project that needed his full attention.
Unfazed, she had adjusted her strategy. Winning over Elsa would be her first step.
"I agree; the food here is fantastic," Gracie responded, her tone warm.

As they finished their meal and were about to leave, Elsa finally noticed Brenna sitting nearby. "Gracie, I've just spotted my son's ex. Would you like to go say hello with me?" Elsa said. Despite her words, she just wanted to flaunt Gracie and mock Brenna. But Gracie's stomach twisted at the thought. After last night's humiliation, and knowing that even Brenna was aware of her secret marriage, she couldn't risk Elsa talking to Brenna. She didn't want Brenna to tell Elsa that she was already married.
"Maybe we should skip that. Ethan and Miss Harper broke up because of me. She probably holds a grudge against me, so I'd rather not talk to her," said Gracie, forcing a polite smile as she found an excuse.
"Oh, don't worry about it. You're young-relationships cand go. Breakups are part of life" responded Etsa waving off Gracie's hesitation before gently tugging her forward, clearly set on talking to Brenna with Gracie.
Elsa wasted no time, speaking in a voice that rose above the gentlem restaurant hum 'Well, isn't this a surprise! Miss Harper, fancy seeing you here."
