Shocking Victoria Gets Audra’s DNA Results – Claire Is Not Her Child Young And The Restless Spoilers

The Young and the Restless spoilers:

Audra Charles stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows of her penthouse office, gazing out at the glittering skyline of Genoa City.
The late afternoon sun painted the horizon in molten gold, but Audra’s eyes were cold, her mind consumed by one single thought—
the utter destruction of Kyle Abbott.

For months she had meticulously assembled every piece of her scheme.
Financial reports, clandestine meetings, the perfect photograph—
and now the trap was almost set.

Her carefully orchestrated plan was twofold.

First, she would engineer Kyle’s professional ruin at Jabot Cosmetics, ensuring that every misstep could be blamed on him alone.

Second, and far more personal, she would shatter the blissful relationship between Kyle and Clare Newman.

Audra’s vendetta against the Abbott-Newman alliance was no secret.
Her family’s fortune had been decimated by Victor Newman’s aggressive acquisitions, and she blamed Kyle’s father, Jack Abbott, for standing by as Victor seized control.

But while corporate warfare had its own cruel satisfaction,
Audra thirsted for something deeper—revenge served cold and personal.

Her blueprint hinged on one critical move:
luring Kyle into a compromising position that would make him appear unfaithful.

The photograph, a staged scene of a clandestine rendezvous with an attractive model, would be leaked to Clare at precisely the moment her trust was highest.

Audra had rehearsed every detail in her mind—
the lighting, the angle, even the faux champagne glasses on the balcony railing.

It would all look scandalously authentic.

But today, as she reviewed her final checklist, an unexpected variable unsettled her.
Nate Hastings.

Nate, a rising star at Chancellor Communications and Clare’s close friend, had been quietly poking holes in Audra’s narrative.
He had noticed discrepancies in the timing of Kyle’s secret meetings and the movements of the hired model.

Over lunch the day before, Nate had confided in Clare, innocently enough, that he found Kyle’s erratic schedule puzzling.

Audra’s heart beat faster.

If Nate’s suspicions deepened, her entire scheme could collapse.

“Mr. Hastings is more observant than I anticipated,” she murmured to herself, tapping her manicured fingers against the glass.

She would need to neutralize him without arousing further suspicion.

A whisper campaign, perhaps—plant a seed of doubt about Nate’s reliability in Clare’s mind.

Audra smiled thinly.
She relished the thought of Clare questioning the motives of her closest ally.

Meanwhile, Kyle Abbott was blissfully unaware of the storm gathering on the horizon.
He sat in Jack Abbott’s office at Jabot, poring over quarterly reports with furrowed brow.

The weight of the family legacy pressed on him more heavily than ever.

Sales figures were plateauing and rumors of a hostile takeover by a rival cosmetics conglomerate—rumors that Audra herself had suddenly stoked—were beginning to swirl.

Jack, ever the seasoned businessman, leaned back in his leather chair and studied his son.

“Kyle, I know you’re doing your best,” Jack said, voice gravelly with concern.
“But if we don’t shore up our defenses soon, Jabot could be looking at serious losses. I’ve asked Diane Jenkins to help us with strategic counsel.”

Kyle nodded, forcing a smile.
Diane had been Jack’s ally for decades—sharp-witted, tenacious, and fiercely loyal.

Together they would fortify Jabot’s position.
But Kyle’s mind kept drifting to Clare.

They had dinner plans tonight at Society, the upscale bistro where they shared their most private hopes and fears.

He longed to see her smile, to feel the warmth of her hand in his.
In his heart, he believed they could weather any storm, never suspecting that the greatest tempest was being brewed by Audra Charles.

Later that afternoon, Audra made her move.
She summoned her most trusted operative, a private investigator named Simone Carver, into her office.

Simone was a former actress turned shadow operative, adept at persuasion and subterfuge.

“Everything is set,” Audra whispered, sliding the staged photograph across the mahogany desk.
“Tonight, you’ll deliver this to Clare. Make it seem as though you stumbled upon it accidentally—found it in a jacket pocket or something. She won’t resist looking.”

Simone examined the photo, nodding.
“Clare won’t suspect a thing. By the time she confronts Kyle, the damage will be done.”

Audra’s lips curved into a triumphant smile.
“Precisely. And while Clare is reeling, Nate’s whispers will echo in her mind. She’ll think he’s planting doubts, making her look insecure.
The more she questions Nate, the more isolated she becomes.

Then, when Kyle tries to defend himself, she’ll see him as the only trustworthy one… and that will shatter her.”
