    Author Notes:

    Chapter 111 – Spit and Fire

    “You need to understand that Bette didn’t create the MYV for
    personal gain.” Tina starts out a little more calmly.

     

    “I know Tina I know, but do you think you can at least ask
    her?  I’m not saying we will release
    it.  I just want it in my arsenal.”
    Jackie says trying to reason with Tina but knows in her heart Tina’s right.

     

    Tina looks at Jackie for a moment before she goes on “No
    it’s not in your arsenal.  I don’t even
    want to ask Bette.” Tina firmly states.

     

    Jackie just nods her head. 
    Quickly moving on “I think our best course will be to not even confirm
    Bette’s involvement then.  I think we say
    that it was a private donation that started the foundation and we stress how
    all major decisions are run through our board.”

     

    Tina nods liking this direction as she begins to write out
    the press release.  With the course set
    the two put their heads together to have some other ideas down before Reverend
    Pillary arrives.

    Chapter 111 – Spit and Fire

     

    Alice
    was left pacing outside of her editor’s office. 
    It hadn’t taken her long to shower, dress and get her ***** down here as her editor so amply put it.  First thing she did when she got to her desk
    was search the web for anything about Bette Porter in the press.  There today’s editorials popped up and she
    read each.  The first thought that struck
    her was that they didn’t know half as much as she did but they did know enough
    to make Bette look manipulative and over bearing.  The second thought to come around was that
    whoever this is they didn’t want to be known as all three editorials were
    anonymous.  ‘Could they all have been
    written by the same person?  Who would
    want to hurt Bette?’  As soon as this
    thought hit Alice‘s mind she immediately thought
    of Helena. 

     

    Picking up the phone Alice
    called Tina’s office and got hung up on. 
    Frustrated Alice
    decided to have this meeting with her editor and then make her way to the MYV
    offices.

     

    As she turned to take one more lap she swore that he was
    making her wait as a pay back for all the missed calls.  With her proofs in her hand she was actually
    startled when he finally opened his door.

     

    Pulaski were the ***** have you been?  Get in here right now.” Came billowing out of
    his office.

    5. Sorry havnt commented in in ages really crappy computer ! and ive been playing catchup (very slowely) so now im up to speed and as always the story is riviting and exciting so looking forward to next chapter what more can i say this is still up there with the best.

    6. you have got my panties in a twist with this. poor bette, she did it for the greater good. al better be quick on her feet. i think bette might have an axe to grind, wrong person this time. thanks, girl

    7. Given how I have felt about Alice in this story, I was extremely gratified to see that Alice did not capitulate and hand over Bette’s head on a silver platter at her editor’s request. Although she has not fully redeemed herself with me, she is making strides. Now, will she continue to see the big picture is the question.

      Alice has got to understand on some level, that Bette will think she was these editorials come from her, or at the very least she was the fountainhead that created the leak. If she can understand that fact, and does not react when Bette comes after her, then they, along with Tina, will be able to join their forces against Helena (or the anonymous source) and best her at her own game. She still doesn’t know that they are aware of her foundation misdeeds.

      At first I was surprised that the newspapers would publish such anonymous editorials without indicating that they have been able to confirm the accusations. But then again, I would imagine that The Peabody Foundation has had close ties to those publications for sometime. The Peabody Foundation no doubt, is well respected – so why would they question Helena’s integrity?

      Very nice visual of the Reverend Pillary on the steps of the MYV, with hands up in blessing. Gave me the feeling he was on the steps of an alter or his pulpit. Sort of a ‘let he who is without sin, cast the first stone’ kind of admonishment. Very nice, indeed.

      The celerity with which Reverend Pillary was able to orchestrate and address a press conference leads me to believe that this is not the first time he has had to step into the fray. He was quite media savvy and always the politician.

      If they are able to discredit the anonymous source immediately, that will aid in truncating any further attempts by Helena to dismantle Bette. Which in turn could allow Bette to remain out of the spotlight just as she has wanted all along.

      Exceptional chapter, Jwet. Like you said, we are getting into the smackdown with earnest now!

    9. Glad that Alice is not succumbing to threats from her editor and betrays her family. Don’t fret! With all the brains behind the family and extended family at the MYV, they will overcome Helena’s evil intent. Helena, on the other hand, will get a taste of the girl’s medicine!!! Being calm and collected is the only way to battle this attack on Bette and the MYV by you know who. Didn’t Winnie Mann once say to Bette that Helena gets a kick out of anyone rising to her bait?! The Reverend certainly did an excellent job in his handling of the press in front of the foundation’s office. I hope that he will remain calm as he speaks with Jackie and Tina and that Jackie will keep Bette out of this.

      Thanks for posting, Jenny. Hope you’ll feel better soon.

    15. ok Jwet if you come to visit me on rehab please bring some candys..lol..im dying for next chapter..the truth is always the best and wise solution..please post soon thanks :o)

    16. I have been following this story for months. I love all of the drama and twists and turns in it. Now, what will Jackie and Tina say to the Rev.? LOL! I wonder if Alice will lose her job behind this? And who is the anonymous one? Enquiring minds want to know. It has the smell of HELL-ena; but you never know. She could have gotten someone else to do her dirty work. SO WHO DID IT? =)

      You’re doing a fantastic job with this story. I have loved it since I read the very first chapter.

    17. It’s so cool to see all the pieces coming together. Alice is the wild card in all this…what is she going to do? I can’t wait for Helena to get caught. Great chapter and I hope you’re feeling better.

    19. Hey Jwet I’m still anxious to known I think Helena have something to do with this News! I think Helena have also access with the editor Office she everywhere LOL! I’m just guess Jwet Thanks for update!!

    22. great speech Reverend, and really great chapter J. I had a lot of fun with Alice’s last name watching TLW and now, what you wrote that was funny too.Anyway, it’s always nice to me to see some trace of Polish (esp. there’s no TLW on TV here). I’m looking forward to next chapter, as always.

    23. Is he a good guy or bad guy, Reverend Pillary? I think he is a good guy since Bette has such respect for him and he for her, even though he does not like “gay”; he treats Bette with great respect.

      So, I think at the end of the day, Reverend Pillary and Alice will save the day. Yes, I’m still cheering for Alice!!!!

      Have you been sick? I hope all is well.

      No beans…..promise…..no beans…..

      Thanks for this story!
