Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) decided that he was going to bait Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson). The scheme involved Jesse seeking Billy’s help and seeming to turn against the Newman’s. However, Victor and Adam conspired with Jesse so that ChanceCom would look like a half-baked news operation.
Jesse felt he could serve two masters by acceding to Victor and Adam’s wishes, while also getting the story about Ashland Locke (Richard Burgi) out. But the rub is that the Lockeness Monster backstory reveal is presented as false information and that Billy did not authorize the story’s release on ChanceCom’s site.

The risk for Ashland is that what he admitted to doing is now public knowledge. No matter what retractions may be forthcoming, based on the ruse that Jesse’s information was deceptive, a percentage of society will believe what was digitally printed.
So, why would Ashland go along with this plan? Well, he, like Victor and Adam, is blinded by his contempt for Billy.
