NEWEST UPDATE!! Y&R Spoilers Shock: Lily realizes she’s been tricked by Victor – teams up with Jack to defeat Newman

finds herself at a crossroads. For months, she had trusted Victor Newman, the man who promised her the CEO position, claiming Billy Abbott’s days were numbered. Lily believed she was on the brink of her big break, finally breaking free of Billy’s shadow and taking the reins herself. But in Genoa City, no one can afford to trust completely, especially when it comes to the Newmans.

The reality hits hard when Lily discovers that Victor has made another promise, this time to his wife, Nikki Newman. Nikki, who had quietly set her sights on Chancellor Abbott as well, was now Victor’s chosen successor, leaving Lily sidelined. This realization devastates Lily, who had been working tirelessly and positioning herself for the CEO role. Victor’s betrayal cuts deep, and Lily is left seething. She had thought she was being groomed for power, but in truth, she was just another pawn in Victor’s game.

Initially, Lily considers confronting Victor directly. The idea of storming into his office, demanding answers, and unleashing her fury is tempting. But Lily knows better. Victor is a master of manipulation, a man who has outwitted the best of them in Genoa City. If she goes head-to-head with him, he’ll twist her words and make her appear irrational. Any direct confrontation would be futile. Lily understands she needs to be strategic, and if she wants revenge, she has to play her cards right.

That’s when the idea strikes her: Jack Abbott. The Newman-Abbott feud is legendary, spanning decades of business rivalries and personal vendettas. Jack has every reason to want to see Victor fail, and Lily believes he might be the perfect ally in her quest to take down the Newman empire. But Lily also knows Jack is cautious. He won’t jump into an alliance without careful consideration. Jack is not easily swayed by emotions—he’s calculated, pragmatic, and always looking out for his own interests.

Lily reaches out to Jack and arranges a meeting. When they finally sit down, she plays it cool, laying out her case for why they should join forces. She details how Victor has wronged both of them and suggests that together, they could topple him from his throne. But Jack, ever the skeptic, listens with a critical ear. He’s well aware of Lily’s ambition and drive, knowing that she’s just as much of a strategist as he is. Jack has been betrayed before and isn’t keen on putting himself in a position where he might be blindsided again.

Still, the prospect of finally defeating Victor is too tempting to pass up. Jack leans back in his chair, weighing his options. He knows that aligning with Lily could be risky—she’s unpredictable, and if things don’t go her way, she could easily turn against him. But for now, they share a common enemy, and that might be enough. After a long pause, Jack finally agrees to join forces. But he’s clear that this is not a lasting partnership. “We work together,” Jack says firmly, “but don’t mistake this for a permanent alliance. If we achieve what we want, great. If not, we go our separate ways.”

Lily accepts his terms, knowing that she’s secured a powerful ally. Jack may not fully trust her, but that’s irrelevant for now. What matters is that she has someone by her side who understands the stakes and shares her desire to see Victor Newman fall.

Meanwhile, across town, Victor sits in his office, surveying Genoa City like a king overseeing his kingdom. With a glass of whiskey in hand, he reflects on the moves he’s made, fully confident that he’s still three steps ahead of everyone. To him, the promises he’s made to both Nikki and Lily were merely tools to manipulate the situation in his favor. Nikki is, and always will be, his priority, and he has no intention of letting anyone, not even Lily, stand in the way of the Newman dynasty.

But in the world of business and power, no one is untouchable, and Lily’s alliance with Jack might just be the move that finally brings Victor down. Only time will tell if their partnership will succeed or if it will implode under the weight of ambition and mistrust.
