As the smoke begins to lift from the extravagant and crumbling chateau in France, it becomes horrifyingly clear that Cain’s deception may go far beyond stolen identity and financial trickery. Now, with the players scattering back to Genoa City, Billy Abbott and Sally Spectra uncover what could be the final, most devastating twist in Cain’s long con — a forged will.
At the heart of this unfolding scandal lies Catherine Chancellor’s final testament — or what appears to be it. In a quiet room off the garden terrace, Billy stares down at the digital copy retrieved from Chancellor’s archives. Something gnaws at him. The language. The phrasing. The intent. “This isn’t Catherine,” he murmurs. “This is someone trying to sound like her.”
Sally, ever the firebrand and strategic thinker, leans in close. “You’re saying Cain faked it?” she whispers. Billy doesn’t answer — because the truth terrifies even him. If Catherine’s will was tampered with, if Cain used his global shell game to rewrite her legacy, then Chancellor’s current power structure is built on fraud.
Back in Genoa City, Amanda Sinclair is already steps ahead. She’s requested access to the original will, not just the version floating in digital archives. “If there’s a discrepancy,” she says coldly to a stunned Jill Abbott, “I’ll find it. And I’ll make sure whoever falsified Catherine’s dying wishes is buried legally.”
Meanwhile, Victor Newman, fresh from his unsettling garden confrontation with Cain, begins laying the groundwork to claim Cain’s collapsing empire. But when he hears whispers about the will, his priorities shift. “If Chancellor was stolen from its rightful heirs,” he growls to Nikki, “then I won’t rest until it’s restored — even if that means bringing Cain down personally.”
Elsewhere, Lily Winters sits with Damian and Devon, her spirit hardened by betrayal. “If Cain rewrote that will,” she says through clenched teeth, “then he stole my children’s future. He stole the last piece of my faith in him.” Devon, nodding, offers her a folder. Inside are the original legal records from Colin Atkinson’s old holdings — records that might just hold the key to Cain’s financial origin story… and the truth about how he funded his empire.
As the train to Genoa City cuts across the French countryside, each passenger carries a secret, a suspicion, or a weapon of truth. Billy and Sally are preparing the scoop of a lifetime. Amanda is sharpening her legal blade. Victor is assembling his corporate army. And Lily, the woman Cain once loved most, is preparing not to forgive — but to finish what he started.
The war for Chancellor is no longer about business. It’s about honor, memory, and justice. And this time, no alias can save Cain from the reckoning that awaits.
