1. Greg Becomes Desperate About the Settlement

Greg could hardly concentrate as he thought about Bethany’s upcoming meeting with Mr. Newburger. He knew Bethany had been making strong arguments about the settlement, and he feared that Mr. Newburger might agree to give her a much larger share.

For Greg, this was more than just a financial disagreement. He believed that losing control of the settlement would put his own interests at risk.

As the meeting time approached, Greg became increasingly nervous. He knew he had very little time to prevent Bethany from getting what she wanted.

2. Mr. Newburger Prepares to Meet Bethany

Meanwhile, Mr. Newburger was preparing for Bethany’s arrival. He understood that the settlement discussion was important and seemed willing to reconsider the amount Bethany would receive.

Greg noticed his attitude and immediately became suspicious. He could tell that Mr. Newburger was taking Bethany’s concerns seriously.

Those words made Greg even more uncomfortable. He realized that Mr. Newburger might actually be prepared to give Bethany a better deal.

3. Greg Makes a Shocking Decision

As the conversation continued, Greg’s fear turned into desperation. He looked at Mr. Newburger and realized that he needed to stop the meeting before Bethany arrived.

When Mr. Newburger was distracted, Greg secretly tampered with his drink. He hoped to prevent the settlement discussion from taking place.

Greg tried to maintain a normal expression, but his nervousness was becoming difficult to hide. He watched Mr. Newburger carefully, waiting for something to happen.

4. Mr. Newburger Suddenly Collapses

Within moments, Mr. Newburger began feeling extremely unwell. His expression changed, and he struggled to remain standing.

Before anyone could understand what was happening, he lost consciousness and collapsed onto the floor.

His sentence remained unfinished as he fell. The sudden incident left everyone completely stunned.

Greg stood nearby, trying to hide his reaction. However, he knew exactly why Mr. Newburger had suddenly become unconscious.

5. Lynette Witnesses the Terrifying Scene

Lynette happened to witness the entire incident. The moment she saw Mr. Newburger lying unconscious on the floor, she froze in complete disbelief.

She immediately looked toward Greg, wondering what had happened and why everything had changed so suddenly.

Greg struggled to respond. Lynette’s questions made him realize that someone might have witnessed more than he wanted them to see.

Without wasting another moment, Lynette focused on getting help for Mr. Newburger.

6. Greg’s Unexpected Reaction Raises Questions

While Lynette remained shocked and worried, Greg’s behavior became even more disturbing. Instead of showing genuine concern, he suddenly began laughing.

His unexpected reaction made Lynette look at him with even greater suspicion.

Greg stopped laughing for a moment. He realized that Lynette was beginning to question his involvement in the incident.

But before he could explain himself, something unexpected happened.

7. Bethany Is About to Discover the Truth!

Just when Greg thought he had prevented Bethany from discussing the settlement, Lynette noticed that Bethany was calling. She knew Bethany would soon arrive expecting to meet Mr. Newburger.

Greg’s expression suddenly changed. If Bethany discovered that Mr. Newburger had collapsed under suspicious circumstances, she would certainly demand answers.

Greg immediately turned toward Lynette, realizing that his carefully planned move might soon be exposed.

But the biggest shock was still waiting. Lynette had noticed something near Mr. Newburger’s drink that could completely change the investigation.

Was Greg about to be exposed? Would Bethany discover what really happened before he could cover his tracks? And could Mr. Newburger reveal the truth when he recovered?
