In the latest Bold and the Beautiful spoilers, Ridge finds himself in a desperate situation as Carter threatens to take over Forester Creations. With his lack of legal expertise, Ridge is at a loss for how to fight back. Carter, having

been the company’s lawyer for years, knows all the ins and outs of the business, and Ridge is unable to come up with a plan to outmaneuver him. However, in a moment of clarity, Ridge recalls that there is one other lawyer he

can turn to—Justin.

Although Ridge has been hesitant to trust Justin due to his past betrayals, especially his history with Bill Spencer, he realizes that he has no other choice. The risk of turning to Justin is high—after all, Justin has a track record of prioritizing his own interests over loyalty. But Ridge is at a breaking point, and if he doesn’t take action, he will lose everything to Carter. The stakes are too high, and Ridge knows that reaching out to Justin might be his only chance to save Forester Creations.

Surprisingly, Justin agrees to help Ridge. With his legal knowledge and experience, Justin quickly dives into the situation, analyzing the paperwork that Carter has been using to try to seize control. Justin is able to identify critical loopholes in the LLC documents that Ridge had signed, which Carter had been relying on to solidify his position. With this newfound insight, Justin helps Ridge regain control of the company, much to Ridge’s relief and surprise. Ridge had initially expected very little from Justin, but the results are far beyond what he had hoped for.

Ridge is deeply moved by Justin’s efforts and, in a moment of gratitude, he decides to reward Justin for his work. Despite Justin’s past betrayals, Ridge offers him a major promotion: Justin will become the new Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Forester Creations. This new position is a significant upgrade from Justin’s previous role and reflects the trust Ridge now has in him. For Justin, it’s a long-awaited opportunity to rise within the company—a position he’s worked hard to achieve, and one that affirms that leaving Bill Spencer was the right choice.

Meanwhile, Carter’s fate takes a sharp turn. After being exposed for his fraudulent actions in attempting to take over the company, Ridge has no choice but to fire him. Ridge cannot tolerate a traitor in the company, especially someone who tried to betray the Forester legacy. However, Ridge decides not to pursue criminal charges against Carter, holding on to the last remnants of compassion he has for his former friend. While he won’t see Carter again, Ridge has made it clear that there is no place for him at Forester Creations anymore.

As Ridge looks to move forward and rebuild the company with Justin’s help, it’s clear that the battle for Forester Creations is far from over. With the stakes so high, Ridge must navigate not only the betrayal within his own ranks but also the future of the family business. This new chapter for Ridge and Justin may prove to be the turning point in the ongoing power struggle, but it’s a victory that Ridge can’t afford to take for granted. Carter may have been defeated for now, but the road ahead for Forester Creations remains uncertain.
