**The Young and the Restless Spoiler: Victor Lies that Kyle is Not Jack’s Son – Family Hatred
In the intricate power plays and family dynamics of Genoa City, Victor Newman once again showcases
his manipulative prowess, targeting Kyle Abbott in his latest scheme. Victor’s devious plan is to drive a
wedge between Kyle and his father, Jack Abbott, as well as Diane Jenkins, by exploiting Kyle’s insecurities and frustrations. This strategy further complicates the already tangled relationships within the Abbott family.
Victor noticed Kyle’s growing frustration with Jack and Diane, feeling sidelined despite being a part of the Abbott family. Kyle often doubted whether his contributions were truly recognized. Seizing this opportunity, Victor decided to manipulate Kyle and turn him against his family. Under the pretense of a business meeting, Victor invited Kyle to his office, but the conversation quickly took a personal turn.
“Kyle, I’ve seen how hard you’ve been working,” Victor began, his tone deceptively sympathetic. “It’s a shame that Jack and Diane don’t seem to appreciate your efforts.” Kyle sighed, his frustration evident. “Yeah, sometimes it feels like no matter what I do, I’m never truly part of the family. They don’t trust me.” Victor leaned in, his voice lowering conspiratorially. “You know, there’s a reason for that. There’s something I think you should know, something that might explain why Jack has always kept you at arm’s length.”
Intrigued but wary, Kyle listened as Victor spun his web of lies. “Jack never wanted to tell you this, but you deserve to know the truth. You see, Kyle, you’re not really Jack’s son. Jack couldn’t have children of his own, so he decided to raise you as his son, hoping it would be enough. But deep down, he never intended to hand over the Abbott legacy to someone who isn’t truly an Abbott.”
Kyle was stunned. He had always believed he was a true Abbott and took pride in his lineage. Victor’s words struck at the heart of his deepest insecurities. “That’s not possible,” Kyle stammered. “Why would Jack lie to me about something like that?” Victor’s expression was one of faint concern. “Jack wanted to keep up appearances, to maintain the illusion of a perfect family. But actions speak louder than words, don’t they? Look at how he’s treated you, how he’s always held you back. It’s because in his eyes, you’ll never be a true Abbott.”
Though fabricated, Victor’s story resonated with Kyle’s experiences. He had often felt excluded and untrusted, and Victor’s narrative provided an explanation that, while painful, made a twisted kind of sense. Kyle left Victor’s office in a daze, his mind reeling. The doubts that had always lingered in the back of his mind now seemed validated, fueling his anger and resentment towards Jack and Diane.
At home, Kyle’s demeanor changed. He became more withdrawn and hostile, especially towards Jack and Diane. The tension in the Abbott household was palpable. During a family dinner, the accumulated tension reached a breaking point. Kyle could no longer contain his anger. “Why have you always treated me like an outsider, Jack? Is it because I’m not really your son? Because I’m not a true Abbott?” he demanded, his voice shaking with emotion.
The room fell silent as Jack, Ashley, Traci, and Diane exchanged shocked and confused glances. “Kyle, what are you talking about?” Jack asked, genuinely baffled. Kyle’s eyes flashed with anger. “Don’t lie to me. Victor told me everything. You couldn’t have children, so you decided to raise me as your own. But you never intended to treat me like a real Abbott.”
Jack’s face went pale, and Diane’s eyes filled with tears. Ashley and Traci looked horrified. “That’s not true, Kyle,” Jack said firmly, struggling to keep his composure. “I don’t know what Victor told you, but you’re my son in every way that matters. I love you and I’ve always considered you an Abbott.” Diane reached out to Kyle, her voice trembling. “Kyle, please, you have to believe us. Victor is manipulating you. Don’t let him destroy our family.”
But Kyle’s trust had been shattered. “You expect me to believe that? After everything, I’ve always felt like an outsider, and now I know why. I can’t trust you.” Determined to uncover the truth, Kyle decided to have a DNA test done. He couldn’t live with the uncertainty any longer. The results would either confirm his worst fears or put an end to the doubts that Victor had sown.
As the days passed, the Abbott family was on edge, each member dealing with the strain in their own way. Jack and Diane tried to reach out to Kyle, but he remained distant and mistrustful. When the DNA results finally arrived, Kyle opened the envelope with trembling hands, the fate of his family and his own identity hanging in the balance.
