Audra Plays Hardball in Relaunch Negotiations
Victoria Newman is determined to relaunch Vibrante with Jabot’s backing, but she hits a massive roadblock in the form of Audra Charles.

Victoria simply cannot move forward with the relaunch without those patents, forcing her to enter negotiations with her adversary.
When Victoria bluntly asks how much money Audra wants for the product patents, Audra refuses to take a simple payout. Instead, Audra counters by informing Victoria that she will have to offer up something far more interesting than money. Whatever leverage Audra is angling for is bound to infuriate Victoria, but if she remains truly desperate to get Vibrante off the ground, she may have no choice but to cave to Audra’s high-stakes demands.
