Despite the harsh words, Sally saw through Adam’s facade.

She claimed that he was breaking up with her as a means of job security for her.

Adam’s vicious rhetoric toward Sally has fans angrier than ever at the Newman outsider.

Nobody trusts him, however.

I know Adam didn’t mean those harsh words.

But still harsh and Sally didn’t deserve to hear those words.

Adam..you let me down.”

Other fans had ideas of where “The Young and the Restless” could have gone instead.

“This was so heartbreaking to watch!”

wrote one such fan onTwitter.

“Sally and Adam should ditch Newman altogether and create their own powerhouse company.

Neither one of them is respected by anyone in that family.
