His voice echoes across the room, warning everyone to stay back, while Nikki trembles in his iron grip, the gun pressed against her temple. Fear and desperation fill the air, as Victor Newman and his son, Nick, are forced to stand helplessly by.
Victor, a man known for his authority and composure, faces a crushing dilemma. With his wife’s life hanging in the balance, he cautiously agrees to Ian’s demands, ordering a helicopter and preparing the Newman family jet as part of Ian’s escape plan. However, Victor’s mind is already working on a counterattack. Meanwhile, Ian’s confidence grows as he taunts the Newman family, believing he has outmaneuvered his rival.

Security teams swarm in, overpowering Ian and disarming him before he can react. Victor rushes to Nikki, holding her as she collapses in tears. Ian is dragged away in handcuffs, his grand scheme foiled by Victor’s strategic brilliance. While the Newman family emerges united, the scars of this traumatic event leave a lasting impact. In Genoa City, peace is always fleeting, and the next storm may already be brewing.
