    Chapter 22

    Peggy told Helena at lunch earlier that she would be reviewing all the grant proposals and making her recommendations knowing full well that Bette had already taken care of it, but she wasn’t ready to reveal that fact to Helena as yet. Peggy had entrusted Bette, Bruce, Julia, Michael and the Peabody Corporation Executive Review Board to reevaluate all the grant proposals for both the arts and social services that were passed over by Helena. The majority were approved and funded including the hotel in Boston that was converted to a residence for the homeless. Those that did not meet criteria were responded to with explanations and recommendations for re-submission or alternative resources to receive the monies they needed.

    Like Helena’s attorney Walter her personal assistant Julia also showed no loyalty to Helena when approached by Peggy. She kept tabs on her boss then reported Helena’s activities to Bruce who in turn reported to Peggy and Bette. Instead of discarding the rejected proposals as instructed to by Helena she would send them to the review board. It wasn’t Peggy’s intention to trap Helena or to spy on her. She gave her the benefit of the doubt but she also decided that if Helena was abusing her power or misappropriating company funds then she’d give her enough rope to hang herself. The noose was tightening with every new revelation of what Helena was up to. They had a contingency plan in place for most every scenario except for Tina Kennard’s sexual involvement with Helena Peabody. Because of that Tina had been kept in the dark about the happenings behind the scene as much as Helena was.

    ***

    Peggy Peabody and Martha Wentworth had talked off and on for years about collaboration and with Bette’s encouragement it was finally brought to fruition. The event was held in the ballroom of one the most prestigious hotels in Beverly Hills and was attended by the most prominent supporters of the artistic as well as social services communities. The catering staff set up ten tables of ten for the formal dinner and there was a small podium set up for the speakers and presenters.

    There were reserved tables for the WeHo Family and Youth Center and the nine other organizations and individuals that were being recognized that evening. Peggy and Martha had arranged limousine service to pick up each of the honorees and their guests. Tina was surprised when Bette called at the last minute to let her know that she would be by in a limo to pick her up for the event. Emma rode in a limo with Michael, Allyn Barnes and Alison Cabot to give Bette an opportunity to talk to Tina in private.

    1. Wow, this is major league chess! Love the way Peggy played the game. But I’m curious what will happen between Tina and Bette. I don’t think that Tina will stay with Helena for long. Helena showed her her true colors and she might turn her rage out on Tina.Thrilling, PPS

    2. Finally ,common sense has prevailed.HELENA lacks decorum,empathy,sympathy and morals.She was so hellbent on destroying BETTE and using a naive but agreeable TINA that she developed tunnel vision,but PEGGY set her straight.Getting the kids proper treatment will ensure that no more harm befalls them thanks to PEGGY,BETTE and EMMA. PEGGY gaveth and PEGGY took it away from the worst kind of being ever born ,human or animal.To lose you legacy for some hairbrain scheme and end up with literally the clothes on your back shows how low you have gone HELENA. You should have quit while you were ahead,oh i forgot ,YOU NEVER WAS IN THE GAME..THANKS,ps.

    3. Shall say it again, Peggy P is AWESOME!!!!! My goodness, Peggy did wreak havoc on helena and her damned plans of personal destruction and I’m so happy she did. Just hope Tina will tell her to go straight to HELL where she belongs. Hopefully Tina will try to maintain her friendships with the girls, after all they were only trying to help and see to her safety and care. So happy that all helenas’ machinations failed and that Peggy was aware from the beginning. So that was why Bette went to see Bruce Cohen when helena denied her grant and she was smiling when she went back to her loft in NYC. I knew she had done something but I never would have thought of this. And helenas’ personal assistant and her attorney as well. were in cahoots with Peggy, Bruce and Bette. That’s what happens when you treat people like caca on the bottom of your shoe. You just can’t do that and expect loyalty and friendship. A lot of people have learned that the hard way, always a bit too late. Happily Tina has learned what love truly is and that she made a huge mistake by leaving Bette. Still holding out hope for a reconciliation I know I’m probably wishing for nothing, and I do not want anything to happen to Emma to bring that about. She is a good woman and I like her, just not for Bette. Thank goodness Peggy loves Bette so much. Thanks for this wonderful chapter. I feel better already and am not in such angst for Tina not knowing what was about to happen. .BAT are you still feeling generous. I know I’m just being greedy now. Thanks for posting. Have a great one.

    4. Well, you started my day in a nice way and now ended it in the same way, Thanks.
      I’ve said it before but it bears repeating, I love Peggy!
      Bette is lovely pregnant but I so wish the ‘other mother’ was Tina.
      Thanks again for the post, please keep them coming :-)
