1983 (#8) - The threats to Victor, Julia's warning and Eve's return.

When Victor's ex-wife, Julia, hears on the phone, through a telephone line disturbance evidently caused by cable contact, a man saying the words "Victor must die", she immediately hurries to call the man back to warn him. The man, surprised to hear Julia, laughs about it and proposes instead to talk about it in person, taking advantage of it to invite her to dinner. Julia decides to return from Paris. Victor confirms that he believes that what Julia has heard is nonsense and does not care about it, not wanting to give it any importance; Julia, however, shows herself rather worried, admitting that she is happy to have had the opportunity to see Victor again. Between the two, it is clear, there is still the harmony of the past. Victor then realizes with amazement that he has forgotten how beautiful the woman was, remaining fascinated by her femininity. Victor himself, then, notices how Julia has acquired a new inner strength and maturity, evidently the result of the independence acquired after her separation with Victor. In the meantime, he updates his ex-wife on the latest developments, informing her that he had once again hired Eve as his personal secretary under pressure from Douglas. Julia notices his doubts about the decision, but Victor, who was in fact almost forced by the woman's insistence, always looking for money under the pretext of Cole's paternity, reassures the woman that he warned Eve not to meddle in his personal affairs again if she did not want to lose her job immediately, since Victor intends to maintain an exclusively working and professional relationship with her. In reality, obviously, the motivations that pushed Eve to return to Genoa City are quite different, and linked as always to the relationship between her son Cole and Victor. In fact, remembering to have heard Douglas say that Victor had always had a particular predilection for his son Cole to the point of having left half of his estate to the child in his will, Eve decided to return to Victor and this time to get her inheritance back as soon as possible.
