Victor Newman, the man everyone in Genoa City either fears, respects, or despises, has once again proven why he’s

the ultimate puppet master. With a reputation for pulling strings behind the scenes, Victor has manipulated nearly

every person who’s crossed his path, including those closest to him—his own family.

A Legacy of Manipulation

Victor’s influence in Genoa City is undeniable. Over the years, he’s built an empire, but at what cost? It seems no one is immune to his schemes—not his business rivals, his friends, and certainly not his family. Victor’s latest moves only solidify his status as a master manipulator.

From orchestrating hostile takeovers to playing mind games with his enemies, Victor’s tactics are legendary. But what’s even more disturbing is how he uses the people he claims to love, turning them into pawns in his never-ending quest for power and control.

Using Family as Pawns

It’s one thing to outmaneuver business rivals, but Victor’s manipulation doesn’t stop there. His own children aren’t safe from his machinations. Over the years, he’s manipulated each of his children in different ways, often pitting them against each other to maintain his grip on power.

His latest target? His “baby”—the daughter who should be able to trust her father more than anyone else. Instead of protecting her, Victor has dragged her into his web of deceit, using her to manipulate others, including Lily. It’s a move that leaves many wondering: is there anyone Victor won’t use to get what he wants?

Why Can’t He Leave Everyone Alone?

Victor’s inability to let go of control is his defining trait. For him, life is a game, and he’s determined to be the one calling the shots. But this constant need to manipulate everyone around him raises a troubling question: why can’t Victor just live his life and leave everyone else alone?

The answer may lie in his insatiable need for power and dominance. For Victor, stepping back means losing control, and that’s something he simply cannot tolerate. It’s not enough for him to be successful—he has to ensure that everyone else is playing by his rules, even if it means sacrificing his relationships along the way.

The Fallout

As Victor continues his manipulations, the fallout is inevitable. Relationships are strained, trust is broken, and lives are upended. Yet, despite all this, Victor remains unrepentant, always ready with another scheme, another plan to keep everyone in Genoa City under his thumb.

But as more people start to see through his tactics, the question remains: how long can Victor maintain his iron grip on the lives of those around him? And when will the people of Genoa City finally say enough is enough?

For now, Victor Newman continues to be the ultimate sleeze ball—a man who manipulates, controls, and dominates everyone in his path. But as the cracks in his empire begin to show, one has to wonder: will Victor’s reign ever truly end?
