Cane Is Horrified to Discover the Secret Deal Between Phyllis and Victor — The Young & The Restless

Cane Ashby stumbles onto a truth that was never meant to see daylight — and what he uncovers threatens to blow up Genoa City from the inside out.

🔥 Cane’s Shocking Discovery

While digging into why Chancellor-Winters suddenly lost leverage on a key business acquisition, Cane finds unusual financial discrepancies leading back to — shockingly — Phyllis Summers. At first he thinks it’s another classic Red scheme… until he sees Victor Newman’s signature embedded deep in the encrypted files.

The two of them working together? Impossible. Unthinkable. Dangerous.

🔥 Phyllis and Victor’s Secret Arrangement

Cane soon learns the chilling truth:
Phyllis secretly made a deal with Victor weeks earlier — a covert exchange of information, double-crosses, and manipulation designed to shift corporate power in Victor’s favor while keeping Phyllis protected from a past mistake she desperate wants buried.

Victor got the leverage.
Phyllis got immunity.
Everyone else? Collateral damage.

🔥 Cane Realizes He’s Been Played

The deeper he digs, the more terrified he becomes. Victor didn’t just manipulate the market — he manipulated Cane personally, feeding him false leads to keep him distracted while the real operation happened behind his back.

Worse: if Cane exposes the deal, Victor can crush him with a single phone call.
If Cane stays silent, he becomes complicit — and risks destroying his own comeback at Chancellor.

🔥 Phyllis Panics as Cane Corners Her

Cane confronts Phyllis privately.
She goes ice cold.
She warns him:

“If you think Victor’s the dangerous one, you haven’t seen what he’ll do to the man who crosses him.”

But Cane refuses to back down. He threatens to tell Jack, Lily, and Devon everything.

🔥 Victor Sends Cane a Message

Before Cane can act, Victor summons him to Newman.
No theatrics.
No threats.
Just a chilling reminder:

“You may expose the truth, Cane… but you won’t survive the consequences.”

Cane leaves more shaken than ever — realizing he’s caught in a war between two master manipulators who will burn the entire city before letting him ruin their plan.
