In a dramatic turn of events, Summer was announced as the new CEO of Jabot,

replacing Audra. This milestone in her career filled her with exhilaration,

and she was determined to excel. However, her husband Kyle was deeply unsettled by

the decision to fire Audra. Kyle found himself at odds with Victor Newman, the powerful patriarch whose influence loomed large over Jabot and other ventures.

Kyle’s dissatisfaction simmered until it boiled over into a confrontation with Victor in his expansive office. Kyle argued that firing Audra was a mistake, citing her competence and dedication. However, Victor remained unmoved, coldly stating, “Audra’s time here is over, Kyle. It’s as simple as that.” Driven by frustration and a sense of injustice, Kyle pushed back, emphasizing the need for stability and criticizing Victor’s arbitrary decisions.

Victor’s patience wore thin, and he issued a chilling ultimatum: “If you don’t like the way I run things, you know where the door is. You’re free to leave anytime.” Kyle felt a sharp sting at Victor’s words, realizing he was merely a pawn in Victor’s grand game. Victor’s final blow came with a ruthless dismissal: “You’re fired, Kyle. You’re no longer of any use to me.”

Stunned and wounded, Kyle stood in silence as the gravity of his situation sank in. He had been cast aside just like Audra. The two, once integral to Jabot’s operations, were now out in the cold. Kyle knew they needed to regroup and approach their futures with a clearer, more strategic mindset.

As Summer settled into her new role, she faced intense scrutiny. Her rapid ascension to CEO had not gone unnoticed, and whispers questioned her readiness and qualifications. Summer’s parents, Nick and Phyllis, were quick to voice their concerns. Nick cautioned her about Victor’s manipulative tactics, while Phyllis warned her to keep her guard up and not trust Victor too much.

Despite appreciating their concern, Summer was determined to prove herself. She believed she could navigate the treacherous waters of corporate leadership and emerge stronger, but her family’s warnings lingered in her mind.

Meanwhile, Kyle and Audra grappled with their new reality. Their sudden ejection from Jabot left them bitter yet resolved to rebuild. Kyle knew he had to distance himself from Victor’s influence and start anew, determined to establish his identity and worth without being overshadowed by Victor’s domineering presence. Audra, too, faced a challenging road but was determined to bounce back, networking and exploring new opportunities to reclaim her professional reputation.

As for Summer, she immersed herself in her new responsibilities. The weight of her role pressed heavily upon her, and she knew she had to prove her detractors wrong. Despite her lack of experience, Summer was resourceful and resilient, ready to take on the challenges ahead.
