Questioned by Jack and Traci, Phyllis explains that she worked with Andrew years ago in New York. Despite Ashley being eager to end the meeting, she adds that she and Andrew worked at a DNA lab. You now work in GCM’s DNA lab, right? Abby asks what all are thinking – why would Ashley hire a DNA expert to work on cosmetics?
The charges were dropped, Lola’s happy to read. Maybe Kyle dug a hole in the wrong place. Either way, she makes it clear that she’s an independent woman who doesn’t need her brother’s approval on who she dates.
Sure, Andrew works on other projects but Ashley gives her word that he’s committed to Jabot. There was a hiccup with a non-compete clause with another cosmetics company but that’s been resolved. Kyle and Jack are still troubled by the secrecy and lies. Why pay a DNA expert monthly on the sly? Offering to pay Andrew 10 times what Ashley does, Jack wants to know what he’s being paid for.
Lola doesn’t appreciate her exciting news being ruined by her brothers trying to control her. If she wants them to meet Kyle, she’ll be the one to make it happen.
In her office, Vikki gets nowhere researching Rey online. Her assistant then delivers an envelope. The message reads ‘If you don’t want anyone to find out what you did, it will cost you. The third digit is 0’.
Stop with the theatrics, Ashley orders Jack – stop waving the chequebook around; I’ll tell you what you want to know for free. She then admits that Andrew’s research has nothing to do with skin cream. She hired him to handle Jack’s DNA test. You’ve been John Abbott’s son all along. Jack looks stunned.
Next week: I know you’re type – making Sharon think you’re the last of the good guys. You don’t fool me, Nick growls at Rey…. Nikki opens an envelope and tells Vikki and Sharon ‘I’m gonna pay the bastard’ … Jack snarls at Ashley – No one understands how you could do this but you’re going to explain this to me NOW!
