In the latest *The Young and the Restless* spoilers, the ongoing custody battle for Harrison Abbott between Summer Newman and Kyle Abbott takes a dramatic turn, putting Audra Charles in the crossfire.
Summer, who is fiercely protective of her son, views Audra as a dangerous influence, especially after discovering the past relationship between Audra and Kyle.
This revelation has left Summer feeling isolated in her fight to shield Harrison from potential harm, casting Audra as a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” in her mind.
Audra, a career-driven woman with no desire to meddle in Kyle and Harrison’s family life, finds herself reluctantly drawn into this intense conflict. She doesn’t understand why Summer sees her as a threat, as her focus has always been on her work, not on becoming involved in the Abbott family’s personal affairs. However, Victor Newman, ever the strategist, sees an opportunity to use this family drama to his advantage. By promoting Kyle and Audra as co-CEOs at Jabot, Victor hopes to ease tensions and further his business interests, all while keeping his true motives hidden from Summer.
Victor’s maneuver only exacerbates the situation. Summer becomes even more suspicious when she realizes that Victor might be using Audra’s promotion to advance his own agenda. In an effort to smooth things over, Victor tasks Audra with convincing Summer that she poses no threat to Harrison. Although reluctant, Audra agrees, understanding that her position at Jabot might be at stake.
The confrontation between Audra and Summer is charged with tension, accusations, and misunderstandings. Audra tries to assure Summer that she has no intention of interfering in Harrison’s life or playing a maternal role. She even offers to keep her distance from the boy entirely if it will ease Summer’s concerns. However, whether this promise will be enough to quell Summer’s fears and bring peace to the custody battle remains to be seen.
As Victor continues to pull the strings from behind the scenes, the relationships within the Abbott and Newman families are pushed to their limits, setting the stage for even more explosive drama in the episodes to come. Audra, who never intended to be involved in this family turmoil, now finds herself at the center of a complex and increasingly tense situation.
