💣 SHATTERING! THE VAULT IS OPENED — DIANE JENKINS’ EARTH-SHATTERING SECRET REVEALED!
The Abbotts fall. Genoa City reels. And Cane Ashby may never be the same…

🧬 The Bombshell: Diane Jenkins’ Abandoned Child Is… CANE ASHBY?!

In an explosive revelation rocking Genoa City, Diane Jenkins is exposed as the biological mother of Cane Ashby — a secret she buried decades ago and swore would never surface. But the past has clawed its way into the present, and the fallout is nuclear.

“I was young. I was afraid. I never looked back,” Diane confesses as the truth rips through the Abbott family like a thunderstorm.

🏛️ A Fatal Blow to the Abbotts

• Jack Abbott, already reeling from betrayal after betrayal, is blindsided. Diane’s deception not only compromises their marriage — it calls into question every decision she’s ever made in his orbit.

• Kyle Abbott feels doubly betrayed. The half-brother he never knew he had was right in front of him. And worse — he’s Cane, a man he’s despised for years.

• Ashley and Traci demand answers as the Abbott family legacy is put in jeopardy. If Cane is Diane’s son… does he have a claim to the Abbott estate?

👊 Cane Ashby’s Identity CRACKS OPEN

Cane always believed he was the black sheep. Now, he learns he’s the discarded heir to a woman he never knew — and a family that wants nothing to do with him.

“I was never just an outsider. I was thrown away before I could walk,” Cane tells Jill through gritted teeth.

This revelation unleashes the worst of Cane:

• He vows revenge against Diane for abandoning him.

• He confronts Jack, demanding a seat at the Abbott table — and possibly the CEO chair at Jabot.

• And when he learns Victor may have known the truth… the gloves come off.

🔥 Fallout Across Genoa City

• Phyllis is stunned — not only by the news, but by the fact that Diane hid it through decades of conflict.

• Nikki sees the scandal as a way to bring down Diane once and for all.

• Adam considers using the information as leverage in his war against both the Abbotts and the Newmans.

• Billy fears Cane will weaponize the secret to go after Chancellor-Winters… and him.

🔮 What Comes Next?

• Will Cane seek DNA confirmation — and what if it’s 100% undeniable?

• Will Kyle and Jack cut Diane out for good?

• Could Cane become the ultimate corporate villain, using his Abbott bloodline to stage a hostile takeover?

• Or… will he spiral into self-destruction from the weight of rejection?
