Michael discovers the secret of Victor’s lost son’s past, so who is Aristotle? Y&R Spoilers

In the mysterious and intrigue-filled world of The Young and the Restless, every character has a past full of twists and turns. For Victor Newman, the powerful and cunning tycoon, his past has always been a nightmare that has never been revealed. However, those pieces of the puzzle are about to be uncovered, and Michael Baldwin will be the one to open doors that have been locked for a long time.

In a special Y&R video, Michael begins to realize that Victor is keeping a bigger secret than he thought.

“It sounds like you and Dumas have a history that I don’t know about,” Michael says in a curious tone, a question that immediately catches Victor’s attention. Michael has always been good at gathering information, but this time, he is curious not only about what Victor is doing in the present but also about the ghosts of the past that this powerful man is hiding.

Victor, who does not easily reveal his innermost feelings, replies in a cryptic way:

“Yes, I had a relationship with Aristotle Dumas, but clearly, it was not a relationship that I would like to remember.”

This short but heavy sentence makes Michael wonder. Everyone knew that Victor was not easily hurt by the past, but what he said about Aristotle Dumas gave off a strange feeling—there was something very dark in their past that no one knew about.

Victor and Aristotle Dumas’ Horrifying Past

Michael’s question was not simply about Victor having worked with Aristotle Dumas; it opened up a long story full of surprises, complicated relationships, and dangerous secrets. Before becoming the head of the Newman Empire, Victor had a past full of mistakes and bad decisions that he would never let come to light.

Aristotle Dumas, known as one of the most ruthless swindlers and manipulators in the upper class, was once an important partner of Victor in his early days. But what few people know is that their relationship was not limited to work. Dumas was not only a partner but also a dangerous enemy with dark plans that only Victor fully understood.

According to insiders, Aristotle Dumas constantly created chaos in Victor’s life. They used to be friends, but gradually, Dumas revealed his true colors—using tricks to manipulate and threaten Victor’s family. In a fierce confrontation between the two, Dumas did not hesitate to use both violence and psychological warfare to put Victor in a situation from which he could not escape.

Their meetings were not just business discussions but also tense battles of wits, where either side could sacrifice the other to win. These secrets will be revealed in the next parts of the story when Michael decides to dig deeper into Victor’s past. He will discover that the battle between Victor and Dumas was not just a struggle for power or money but also a battle for trust, honor, and survival.

The names that Victor once considered allies will now become ghosts of his past, making him unable to escape the hauntings he has tried to forget.

A Dangerous Confrontation

Now, as secrets start to be revealed, Michael will be the one standing in the middle—not only as an old friend of Victor but also as someone closely connected to the events unfolding. Michael understands that any information about Victor’s past could change the entire course of this world of intrigue. He must decide what to do with the truths he discovers.

Michael’s conversation with Victor will be just the beginning of a series of shocking revelations. As Victor’s dark past with Aristotle Dumas is uncovered, the upper echelons will be confronted with truths they have tried to keep hidden. Power struggles, betrayals, and forgotten friendships will lift the veil on previously unknown secrets, bringing about huge changes—not only for Victor but for all the characters on The Young and the Restless.

The big questions Michael asks will not only lead to an understanding of Victor’s past but also put him in danger. It could bring down everything Victor has built. And while Victor will certainly do everything to protect these secrets, Michael will face a difficult choice.

Will he continue to be a loyal friend? Or will he become a truth-teller, upending everything Victor has built?

In the world of intrigue, conspiracy, and secrecy on The Young and the Restless, each character has a complicated past. However, there is no denying that Victor Newman is one of the most unpredictable—unafraid to get into trouble if it helps him protect his family and his empire. Especially when his relationship with Aristotle Dumas, a prominent figure in the upper class, broke down and became a bloody feud that continues to this day.
