“Just who in the ***** do you think you are letting yourself
get scooped this way. I hope you don’t
have visions of being my ace reporter any time soon. Haven’t you been sitting on that article
about Bette Porter for over two months?
Well it’s out and I want your story on my desk in the next hour if you
still want to have a job around here. Do
you hear me?”
editor screams loud enough that it wakes Dana up.
“Y yes, I hear you.”

“What the ***** was that?”

them from her editor. “Oh ***** something
has happened.”

Tina made it to the office with plenty of time to
spare. Traffic had seemed light as she
breezed through the city. Walking in the
building she notices that as always Jackie was already at her desk. Making her way to her own office, Tina looked
at the stack of mail and documents piled in the center of her desk as if she
had been gone weeks.
“Wow I guess I was missed.” Tina says to no one as she opens
her desk drawer and deposits her purse there.
Moving the pile to one side Tina decides she will get a cup of coffee
first and drop by Jackie’s office before she digs in to what she believes will
be a morning buried in paperwork.
With her coffee mug steaming Tina makes her way to Jackie’s
office. “Hey there, miss me?” Tina asks
as Jackie looks up.
“God am I glad you’re in.
We have a problem.” Jackie says not even bothering to say Hello.
At the tone of Jackie’s voice Tina knew it must be something
serious “Why what’s happened? Is it
serious?” Tina asks as she takes a seat in Jackie’s office.
With that Jackie hands Tina two of the three
editorials. “Apparently there’s another
in the LA News, I haven’t been able to pull that one down yet.” Jackie states.
“Do you have any idea just who would want to launch this
vicious attack on our integrity? Do you
think it was your journalist friend?” Jackie asks as she levels a serious look
at Tina.

Uh-oh, everyone take cover when Bette finds out what’s happening and they figure out Helena’s behind it. ARGHHHH that flipping woman! I say let Bette’s fury be unleashed on that woman, she’s had it coming to her for ages. They need to let Alice publish that article!
Thanks for the chapter, hope the next one comes soon.
Jwet why oh why did you leave it like that.I like drama in the end be kind.
holy hot dayum. someone, not mentioning names, but someone is soooo gonna feel the wrath of bette. jeez, duck and cover. thanks girl.
OMG, I hope that Bette doesn’t have a stroke or blow -out the frontal lobe of her brain when she finally finds out. I think that there best defense in this case is an offense in the form of exposing Helena’s fraud with the other non-profit organizations. I agree with Tina and Jackie that they should not use Alice’s story and should not admit any involvement by Bette. Jwet you really know how to let the tension build up, GREAT job, please come back soon.
oh man..please dont let this shit ruin Anna birthday party..B&T will be devastate if that happen..now back..i think the better choice is not lie..what is the big deal tell that Bette is behind the foundation?..she have nothing to hide..i dont see why…B&T need to find a way to disclose Helena..Helena is sick and mean cuz she dont even think that have a innocent child involve in this and she could end hurt..oh man im so addicted to your story..if i end in a rehab it will be your fault Jwet…lol..please please psot soon thanks :o)
I need to kick Helena Ass LOL! Jwet she getting fed up with Helena OK! Whoa! still Wonderful Story keep going Thanks for update!!!
ok ok , im crap at predictions, im not going to even try anymore, ill just keep to telling you how good you are.
Well well well, that fan that the proverbial shit is going to hit is just getting bigger and bigger and bigger. And I think I speak for all when I say that I hope the BITCH is in front of it and gets a real eye full!
SHSL will be so very controlled and step out of the way to let it all happen, she won’t have a speck on her!
Great update mate, the tangled web is unravelling!!
Damn this is bad and drama coming!
JWet,
Another piece of perfection.
I don’t know how you do it but you make the simplest of things an adventure as well as the . Every time I see that there is a new post from you I do a little dance and sing a little song and raise my spirits ready to enjoy your story.
The cat is truly out of the bag and scratching the eyes of everyone in its path.
There does appear to be a stench of Peabody influence here. If you can’t get the press you want then buy yourself a newspaper and create your own version of reality.
This is stormy time for Bette and Tina. Given the changes and maturity of their relationship, I am sure that they will batten down the hatches and ride out this squall and emerge stronger and more resilient amidst the wreckage.
I hope that the instigator of this viciousness gets caught up in her own wickedness and gets her just rewards.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you as always and please post soon.
Your Loyal Fan.
I guess you are doing to leave us guessing..But I know Tina has it in her to figure out it’s Helena BUT will Helen’a be prepared for what is to come.. Let her be blind sided. Tina will let her feel like she has won and then the BRICK will fall. Great story as always please post soon…
I have such a low tolerance for mean spirited people. When does Helena get kicked to the curb for good?
Does Helene HATE Bette because of Peggyliking her so much? Does she hate her because Tina went back to Bette?? Does she LOVE her and Bette want give her the correct time of day and would never even be her friend let along her lover? Let some kick her ass real good. Just might be Tina She {helene} is so evil/ thanks
Oh, oh….phew. My laptop working again. What a chore! Good thing I live with a computer expert.
And not sure if I should spill the beans but this good! It gets better!
Hmmm, now I know….another star wars fan. Like I said, it’ll be Alice to the rescue. The limb that I was out on does not look at thin as it did back then.
Great story, Jwet.
I have my favorite star wars quote ready to be used …. soon.
Thank you. Have a great weekend!
Jwet, it has taken me a while to read up but I’m finally all caught up with this clever, convoluted story. I’m sure you’ve heard it all before but it just gets better with each chapter. What a tangled skein the plot has become but we’ve all seen that a magician can just pull one end of the thread and all will be well again. I’m just waiting eagerly for how the magician goes about the untying the mess, so to speak. Yes, getting the result is important but it’s all about the process too.
Alice’s story can be used to counter Helena’s stunts but I’m glad to see that Tina is quick to protect Bette’s wishes for privacy. Yes, Helena does hate Bette and can’t stand the thought of losing to Bette but did Alice let something slip at the MYV Awards dinner to put Helena on this path? Just a thought as I was reading this chapter. Helena is rich, has all the resources she can buy and is a vengeful b*tch; but is she that much of a smart cookie as to figure things out for herself to start investigating the origin of the MYV?
Helena just wants things her way. Whatever she can’t get, she’ll ruin it for everyone else. As Mama Peabody said, she’s a petulant child. Perhaps Mama Peabody will have a hand in helping to clear the sh*t so that the Peabody name is not tainted (any further once Alice’s Helena file becomes uncovered)? And fire Helena from the Foundation? Maybe even disown her? HAHAHA!!!
Hope you’ll post on Sunday. Have a great weekend.
bette is going to explode. We are so ready for more wonderful chapters. thanks for the post
Looks like Alice got a rude awakening in more ways than one.
Now, will Alice stick to her word to Tina and make a stand to her editor and refuse to give him the story…or will she cave in and possibly throw away a part of her family for a by-line? That’s a tough spot to be in if you’re Alice. She has such a drive to curry favor for notoriety.
However, is she wants to redeem herself and truly make a statement, then maybe she should use those super-sleuthing talents and her relentless nature and turns those efforts towards figuring out what Helena is up to.
I know that Jackie wants to do damage control, but it might be better in the end if she can convince Bette to let her have her as her ace in the hole should she need it. I think they will be able to resolve it without her, but it would be important for Bette to know that her altruistic endeavor may inspire others as well.
And with a simple phone call to start their day…everyone’s lives change.
You have me on the edge of my seat. I have disliked Alice, I can’t stand viperous Helena, I adore Jackie and James and I want Tina and Bette to get the last laugh – can’t wait to see what happens next.
Lord have mercy on us all- this is gonna be interesting! have a great weekend and thanks for the update!
Oh you crafty writer, leaving us at the moment of discovery. Nicely written, of course. You’re on a great writing roll!
