When Ashley departed Genoa City on October 29, 2018, she took every last one of her Jabot patents with her. She took a jetliner to Paris, where she intended to launch a rival cosmetics company named My Beauty, after John Abbott’s pet name for her.
Jack is baffled by Ashley’s bold move of starting her own health and beauty company that now competes with Jabot. Phyllis may find her time as head of the cosmetics company cut short after Jack and Billy team up to take her out of the top seat at their family company. This new venture signals another chapter in the enduring saga between Jack and Ashley, where boardroom strategies often mirror battlefield tactics.
On The Young and the Restless, Ashley Abbott and Tucker McCall got married and headed off to Paris. What felt like a commercial break later – it was more than that, but time flies, you know – Tucker was back, announcing the relationship was over. He flashed back to him and Ashley breaking up when she refused to put him ahead of her family and their company. The exchange got heated. But, not too heated. Ashley, however, had a different memory of the argument, recalling a violent, vicious, borderline abusive Tucker. So which version is true?
Jack knows he’s just going to have to keep fighting fire with fire, and shoot down every argument Ashley has against him.
Now that her new company is Jabot’s competitor, Jack knows that this means trouble for the family company. Ashley has been making a huge deal over how Jack is dangerous to the family business, being manipulated by the dangerous Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters).
Ashley tricked Jack into believing he wasn’t really John Abbott’s son in order to get some revenge for the blood Abbott clause at Jabot. Since McCall was taken over and now run by Adam Newman (Mark Grossman), she wants to take over Jabot in concert with her co-conspirator and now fiancé Tucker McCall.
The dynamics within Jabot are shifting rapidly as Jack prepares to counteract all of Ashley’s overtures in what seems like a never-ending sibling rivalry.
