Jack Is Shocked to Discover Billy Secretly Went to Paris and Made a Deal With Cane | Y&R Spoilers
The walls are closing in on Billy Abbott as The Young and the Restless drops another explosive twist. In a secretive business move, Billy has flown to Paris without informing anyone at Jabot—and what’s worse, he made a private deal with none other than Cane Ashby. When Jack finds out, he is left reeling, and Genoa City is once again plunged into a storm of betrayal, ambition, and family rivalry.
This twist threatens not only the fragile truce between the Abbott brothers but also the future of Jabot—and the legacy John Abbott worked so hard to build.
🌍 1. The Secret Paris Trip: Business or Betrayal?
Billy Abbott has always walked the line between bold risk-taker and reckless saboteur. But his decision to fly to Paris without telling Jack or Ashley is a bold breach of trust. Initially framed as a “wellness retreat,” Billy’s absence was explained away until Phyllis overheard a suspicious phone call involving the phrase: “Cane’s ready to sign.”
Digging deeper, Jack uncovered the shocking truth—Billy had met Cane in Paris to negotiate an exclusive licensing deal behind Jack’s back. The deal? A new line of men’s grooming products under Jabot’s name, but with Cane as the international distributor.
😤 2. Jack’s Reaction: Betrayal Cuts Deep
For Jack, this is more than a breach of protocol—it’s a betrayal from his own brother. After spending years trying to protect Jabot from hostile takeovers, media scandals, and even Victor Newman’s meddling, Jack believed he and Billy were finally working together.
Instead, he’s blindsided.
Spoilers suggest that Jack confronts Billy in a fiery boardroom scene where emotions erupt. Jack accuses Billy of undermining him, risking company assets, and disrespecting the Abbott name. Billy, ever defiant, claims he was trying to “think outside the box” and accuses Jack of being stuck in the past.
🤝 3. Cane’s Role: Opportunist or Puppet Master?
Cane Ashby’s reappearance in this deal raises more questions than answers. Once a respected executive at Chancellor Industries, Cane’s reputation has been stained by past deceptions. Many in Genoa City view him with suspicion, especially Jack—who believes Cane is using Billy as a pawn in a larger game to reclaim influence.
Cane, meanwhile, maintains that the deal is legitimate and claims Billy reached out to him, not the other way around. But whispers around town suggest Cane may have leverage on Billy—perhaps involving financial troubles, gambling debts, or something more personal.
🧩 4. Ashley Weighs In — Power Struggle Intensifies
Ashley Abbott isn’t one to sit quietly while her brothers go to war. As co-CEO of Jabot’s international branch, she immediately flies back from London to assess the damage. She’s furious—not just at Billy for the secrecy, but at Jack for “letting it happen under his nose.”
This paves the way for a renewed power struggle at Jabot, with Ashley possibly siding with Billy on creative strategy, even if she disapproves of his methods. The sibling rivalry threatens to tear the company—and the family—apart yet again.
🕵️♀️ 5. Phyllis Digs Deeper: Was Victoria Involved?
Of course, no scandal in Genoa City happens in isolation. Phyllis, sensing a bigger picture, begins digging into phone records, bank transactions, and travel logs. Her theory? That Victoria Newman may have had a hand in facilitating the Paris meeting—or at least encouraged Billy to undercut Jack.
Victoria and Cane have worked together before, and she still holds grudges against Jack. If true, this could mean Newman Enterprises is meddling in Jabot’s affairs, again. Victor wouldn’t approve—but that’s never stopped Victoria before.
