In a tense and gripping scene, Adam Newman makes a bold move
that will forever alter the dynamics in Genoa City.
Adam, knowing the weight of what he’s about to disclose,
invites Jack Abbott to a private meeting. The atmosphere is thick with tension as Adam prepares to reveal a secret that has been festering beneath the surface for far too long. Jack, usually composed and in control, senses that something is amiss, and his suspicions are confirmed when Adam finally speaks.
Adam’s revelation hits Jack like a ton of bricks: Victor Newman, the master manipulator, has been orchestrating a scheme to undermine Jabot through the mysterious company Glide. Victor has been using his own family, including Kyle and Audra, as pawns in his twisted game. Jack’s worst fears are realized as Adam confirms that Victor is behind Glide’s recent attacks on Jabot.
Fury and betrayal surge through Jack as he processes the information. Victor’s actions are beyond anything Jack could have imagined. The thought of Victor manipulating his own son, Kyle, to destroy Jabot leaves Jack seething with anger. He had suspected Victor’s involvement but lacked the proof—until now. Adam, despite the risk of turning against his father, is determined to see Victor brought down, even if it means aligning with Jack.
Adam warns Jack to be cautious, knowing that Victor won’t take this lightly. Victor is ruthless, and anyone who stands in his way is in danger. But Jack is not one to back down from a fight, especially when his family and company are on the line. This battle has become personal, and Jack is ready to confront Victor head-on, determined to make him pay for his transgressions.
With a steely resolve, Jack leaves the meeting with Adam and heads straight to Newman Enterprises. Fueled by anger, Jack storms into Victor’s office, not bothering with pleasantries. Victor, always one step ahead, is surprised but not entirely shocked to see Jack standing before him, seething with rage. Jack wastes no time, accusing Victor of using Kyle and Audra to sabotage Jabot. He demands to know why Victor would go to such lengths.
Victor, ever the calculating businessman, remains calm. He coldly tells Jack that business is business, and if Jack is too weak to protect Jabot, he shouldn’t be in charge. This callous response is the final straw for Jack, who snaps and lunges across the desk, grabbing Victor by the collar. The two men struggle, their movements fueled by adrenaline and years of animosity.
The confrontation escalates as Jack, in a fit of rage, sends Victor crashing to the ground. The impact is hard, and for a moment, Victor lies motionless, his breathing shallow. The realization of what he’s done begins to sink in for Jack. He’s just attacked Victor Newman, a man with immense power and influence. Panic sets in as Jack contemplates the possible consequences. His reputation, his company, his life—everything could be ruined if the truth comes out.
In a state of fear and confusion, Jack flees the scene, leaving Victor unconscious on the floor. As he escapes into the night, the terrifying question looms: What if Victor doesn’t wake up? What if Jack’s actions have caused irreversible harm?
Back in the office, Victor slowly regains consciousness. Despite his age and the toll the attack has taken on him, Victor’s mind remains sharp. He pieces together what has just happened and realizes that Jack has crossed a dangerous line. But Victor is not one to be easily defeated. As he picks himself up, wincing in pain, he knows that this is far from over. This is war, and in war, there are no rules.
Victor reaches for the phone and orders security, a plan already forming in his mind. Jack may think he has the upper hand, but Victor knows better. This is just the beginning, and Jack will soon learn the cost of crossing Victor Newman. The battle lines are drawn, and in the ruthless world of Genoa City, no one is safe.
