Victor can be held liable under the doctrine of apparent authority. This legal principle holds that if someone (Victor) leads a third party (Gus) to reasonably believe that another person (Brenda) has the authority to act on their behalf, and the third party acts on that belief, the person who created the appearance of authority (Victor) can be held liable for any resulting losses. This is because Gus's reliance on Brenda's apparent authority was induced by Victor's actions, making Victor responsible for the consequences of that reliance.
