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.

Grace wanted to RSVP for Anna’s birthday party so she
quickly dials Tina’s office number at the MYV.
It answered after four rings and rolled into Tina’s greeting. Grace waited to leave a message a little
disappointed at not getting to Tina directly, when it came time for the beep
her phone hung up. Thinking that was odd
Grace dialed again and once again it hangs up.
Not one to be put off Grace dialed Bette’s number at the CAC.
“Hey Bette how’s it going?” Grace says after Bette’s
greeting.
“Grace? I’m sorry I
was expecting Jack. It’s so good to hear
from you. It’s going well, today’s a
little odd. Anna had a little fever but
it went away and now I’m just getting to the office myself.” Bette says getting
over her initial surprise.
“Well that would explain it then.” Grace says almost to
herself.
“Explain what?” Bette asks out of curiosity.
“Tina’s voice mail at the MYV. It must be full since she was at home with
Anna. Her phone just hangs up.” Grace
informs Bette.
Bette decided to pass by the fact that Tina hadn’t stayed at
home with Anna. “You know I actually got
a voice mail full. I thought it was a
little odd myself. She was out all day
yesterday and she must have not had a chance to empty it yet.” Bette offers. “So Grace what do I owe for the pleasure of
your call?”
“I’m going to be able to come to Anna’s birthday party.”
Grace says triumphantly.
“Really that’s great.
Does that mean you’re in LA?” Bette asks excited.
“Well actually
Francisco
could come down for the day.” Grace says delighted to be included.
“The day, how about the weekend? You’ll have to stay the night at our house if
you’re driving. We’ll find somewhere for
you to sleep.” Bette offers happy to be hearing from Grace. “So Grace what’s in
“Well I’ve just accepted a temporary assignment here. You know how much I love my family but I
found I could only handle the Grand kids so much. I spoiled them rotten and now I need a little
break.” Grace says making Bette laugh.
James was now in Bette’s office pacing back and forth in
front of her desk. He started waving at
her after a few moments, he had Jack waiting on the other line.
“Hey Grace that all sounds great. I seem to have something going on that I need
to attend to James is pacing in front of my desk right now and if I don’t get
to it he may just start spazzing out.
We’ll catch up this weekend and you can fill me in. Come early we will love having you.” Bette
offers again.
“Sure thing Bette till this weekend.” Grace says as she
hangs up.
“OK James I got it.
Take a deep breath its all fine.” Bette says as she reaches to connect
her other line.
“Jack what’s the emergency?
James here looks like the world’s about to come to an end.” Bette
teases.

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!
