Forester Creations is plunged into absolute chaos as Carter Walton launches a shocking corporate coup, blindsiding Hope Logan and Brooke Logan in a takedown so ruthless it sends shockwaves through the entire fashion world. In a boardroom packed with trembling employees and stunned executives, Carter strides in with Daphne at his side — the new power player whose ambition is matched only by her icy smile.
Without warning, Carter slams a confidential file onto the table and announces a “historic restructuring,” his voice echoing with cold authority. Moments later, in front of the entire upper staff, he delivers the words that detonate like a bomb:
“Brooke. Hope… you’re fired. Effective immediately.”
Gasps fill the room. Phones drop. Someone even screams.
Brooke and Hope stand frozen, color draining from their faces as decades of loyalty, sacrifice, and legacy are stripped away in seconds. Daphne steps forward, her smirk widening as she hands them their termination packets — documents clearly prepared long before this meeting. It becomes painfully obvious: this was a coordinated ambush.
The move comes after weeks of growing tension. Carter, once the moral center of Forester, has transformed into something unrecognizable — calculating, power-hungry, and shockingly ruthless. Daphne, whose meteoric rise has baffled insiders, appears to be the mastermind behind the scenes. Rumors swirl that she discovered confidential dirt on board members, forcing them into silent compliance.
Carter outlines his brutal new regime:
• Cutthroat efficiency
• Corporate secrecy
• Profit over people
• Total loyalty — or total removal
While employees exchange terrified glances, nobody dares speak. Carter has clearly positioned himself to be untouchable… for now.
But Brooke Logan refuses to go quietly.
With fire in her eyes, she steps forward and delivers a warning that chills even Daphne:
“You can steal our titles, but you will never own Forester’s soul. And you will never break us.”
Hope joins her, voice steady despite the tremor beneath it:
“Forester Creations was built on vision and heart… not intimidation and greed.”
As the Logan women walk out, employees secretly slip them nods of support, whispers of loyalty, and covert messages promising help. A rebellion stirs beneath the surface.
Meanwhile, Carter and Daphne celebrate behind closed doors — champagne glasses clinking, their victory seemingly secure. But Daphne quietly locks the boardroom door… and reveals the real reason she helped Carter rise: she plans to take him down next.
Brooke and Hope regroup at home, already assembling allies, calling former board members, digging for inconsistencies in Carter’s takeover. They know this is more than a firing — this is war. A war for the legacy, identity, and future of the iconic fashion empire.
