Michael is a bulldog lawyer. Victor’s rehire of him was intended to prepare for the storm that has arrived in Genoa City, Wisconsin, and Peru.

Ashland did not anticipate Victor being able to obtain devastating information from doctors who are claiming direct knowledge of the lie. Based on the testimony Michael has been able to obtain, Ashland never had cancer.

Victor does not seem to have all that he stated was needed to fully sink Ashland. So, it may be possible for Ashland to block his father-in-law from securing the money information that would lead to criminal charges being filed. This could happen if he holds Michael hostage, without making it seem to be that way.
