Carter Walton, the trusted COO of Forrester Creations, stumbles upon a conversation that shatters his world. Hidden in the shadows, he overhears Steffy Forrester and Daphne Rose discussing their intricate plan to undermine his authority. The revelation is devastating—Daphne, whom Carter believed to be a genuine ally, was nothing more than a pawn in Steffy’s high-stakes game to reclaim control of the company. The betrayal is both professional and deeply personal, leaving Carter reeling with anger and a newfound sense of ruthlessness.

Determined to protect his standing, Carter takes decisive action, securing his legal grip on Forrester Creations alongside Hope Logan. Once the company’s voice of reason, he now embraces a hardened, strategic mindset, rejecting Ridge’s pleas for loyalty and signaling a dramatic shift in power. Meanwhile, Steffy’s meticulously crafted scheme collapses due to her own overconfidence, revealing cracks in her once-flawless instincts.

As Daphne is unceremoniously dismissed, her departure feels less like the end of her story and more like the prelude to revenge. Could she turn against Steffy or align with Hope to further shake up the Forrester empire? With shifting alliances, corporate battles, and emotional stakes at an all-time high, the fallout from Carter’s discovery is only beginning. Betrayals have been exposed, but the war for control is far from over.
