While most would jump at the chance to join the Newman empire, Cole can’t shake the feeling that accepting Victor Newman’s position could destroy everything he holds dear.
When Dreams Become Nightmares Despite Victoria’s encouragement, Cole revealed he’s leaning toward turning down the publishing division role. “I’m just not sure I can work around your father,” he admitted, voicing concerns about the toxic corporate environment and losing precious writing time. But it’s more than just career fears weighing on him – it’s the potential cost to his rekindled romance with Victoria and their miracle reunion with Claire.

She urged Cole not to use her father as an excuse, reminding him he could always walk away if things became unbearable.
