Victor wants to know if it’s true that she nearly sold Chancellor Industries to Cane

Nikki says it was when Nick was being held hostage and framed for murder. She doesn’t regret offering it to free her son.
Victor doesn’t like that he was kept in the dark.
Nikki says what upset her was that Cane was prepared with legal documents at the ready.
Victor says that’s proof that Cane organized the party in France to get Chancellor away from them.
Nick hates that they almost lost Chancellor because of Cane.
Nikki says it would’ve been worth it. She says it was her decision and she stands by it. She refuses to listen to Victor’s objections and says she did what any parent would have done.
Nick believes this gives them more insight into Cane’s tactics and suggests the party was meant to throw them off balance and cause friction.
Nikki thinks framing Nick for Damian’s murder was a part of it.

Victor insists she is just as worried about her family as they are.
Nick wonders if Cane was actually behind Damian’s murder. He says there is no enemy worse than one with no boundaries. He wants to know how they fight him.

Nick isn’t sure that Cane will believe he’s sincere.
Nikki wants to know the endgame.
Victor says they will make him forget about Chancellor.

Victor says he will get Jabot, and they will help him take the damn company over!
Nikki refuses to be a part of a precedent for Cane to steal privately owned companies.

Nick says the situation is very fluid.
Nikki doesn’t believe her son can get Cane to trust him. She says all these stunts are about Lily.
Nick says he will do whatever it takes to protect their family.
