Brett paced his luxurious apartment, his mind racing. He felt frustrated at how he had misread and completely underestimated the situation. He had hoped that the news of Brandon's paternity would cause Levi and Lyse to separate.
The ideal scenario would have been for Lyse to be so angry that she would come out and tell everyone about how their marriage was just for show. Instead, she was about to turn Levi to a grieving widower.
With Lyse in a coma, Levi would no doubt have everyone's sympathy. The public would rally behind him, and since the will did not specify that Levi's wife needed to be conscious or alive, his hold on the company would become even stronger.
He could not let that happen, not after all of the effort he had put in. He needed to take action, and fast. He could not afford to lose when he was so close to reaching his goals.
