1981 (#22) - Derek's plan and the agreement between Eve and Victor

After losing control of Chancellor Industries to Victor, it is only logical that Derek began to feel a great resentment towards the man; resentment also increased by the flirt between Victor and Judy, with whom Derek hoped to have a future. When Derek accidentally meets Eve, who can't forgive Victor for not recognizing her son, it's normal for the two to work together to bring Victor down and take revenge on him. After Eve informs him of the situation regarding Julia's pregnancy, therefore, Derek decides to take action to destroy the man who ruined his life. Derek thus, thanks to the knowledge of a doctor in the hospital, manages to get his hands on the report of Victor's vasectomy, which confirms the fact that Julia's baby was conceived after the operation. Eve and Derek decide to send a copy of the report to Julia, who realizes that the baby she is carrying is clearly Michael's. Julia thus informs Michael, sharing sweet moments with him. What Julia cannot imagine is that Victor also understands the truth about the fatherhood of Julia's baby, which turns his jealousy into certainty about Julia's betrayals. Victor then decides to record Julia's hidden conversations with her lover Michael in order to obtain evidence about the relationship between the two. Victor then decides to take action. First, he decides to get rid of Eve, accepting the woman's last financial request for $50,000, but only on the condition that she had agreed to hide her fatherhood: Eve would claim to have been widowed and to have received a large inheritance from Cole's rich uncle, who was supposed to study at one of the best schools in Switzerland. Eve, now resigned to not seeing Victor's paternity of Cole recognized, decided to leave Genoa City forever.
