The latest Bold and the Beautiful spoilers reveal a jaw-dropping twist as Daphne

executes her most cunning scheme yet, turning the tables on Forrester Creations in a move no one saw coming.

A master manipulator with an unmatched ability to read people, Daphne has long been orchestrating a takeover from the shadows. After numerous failed attempts, she finally finds her way in—using Carter as the perfect pawn.

Daphne carefully sets the stage, inviting Carter to an intimate lunch at Il Giardino, a place known for its fine dining but, more importantly, for the discreet conversations that happen there. She plays her cards right, skillfully planting doubts in Carter’s mind about the future of Forrester Creations. She alludes to a grander vision—one in which he, too, could wield true power. Seduced by the idea of influence and Daphne’s calculated charm, Carter unwittingly lets his guard down, giving her just the opening she needs.

But what was supposed to be a carefully planned seduction takes an unexpected turn when Hope stumbles upon a heated exchange between Daphne and Carter in Eric’s office. Hope, already suspicious of Daphne’s growing influence, immediately realizes something sinister is at play. Daphne, however, is far from rattled—she’s already two steps ahead.

In a shocking twist, Daphne abandons her original plan to return Forrester Creations to Ridge. Instead, she seizes full control for herself, setting up a secret sale of the company to a powerful rival. The deal is done before anyone even realizes what has happened. As the ink dries on the contract, she vanishes, leaving behind nothing but chaos and betrayal.

For Steffy, this is a devastating blow. She has spent years fighting for the legacy of Forrester Creations, and now, in an instant, it’s gone. The pain of betrayal cuts deep—not just because of Daphne’s actions but because no one saw it coming. Her closest allies, including Ridge and Eric, are quick to assign blame. They accuse Steffy of making reckless decisions that ultimately paved the way for Daphne’s deception. Tensions explode within the family, and trust is shattered.

Meanwhile, as the fallout spreads, Daphne is nowhere to be found. She has not only stolen Forrester Creations but also walked away with a massive fortune, ensuring that she’ll never have to look back. The uncertainty of what’s next looms over everyone. With the company now in the hands of an unknown enemy, can the Forrester family rise from the ashes? Or has Daphne’s betrayal set off a chain reaction that will lead to the ultimate downfall of their legacy?

One thing is certain—nothing will ever be the same agai
