Lottie shrugged, “All I need you to do is get them to agree to a re-write?”
Joyce took a deep breath and picked up the phone, “Let’s see then.”
She went through to her receptionist first, asking to be put through to the personal line of the Advocate’s editor in chief.
It was then and only then that Lottie considered how powerful and influential Joyce was.
“Jon,” Joyce beamed into the phone as she spoke, it was clear she took enjoyment from suing people, “Joyce Wishnia here … I’m fine thanks and you? … good, good, listen Jon,” she paused again and looked to Lottie, giving her a final chance to pull out, after all – there was a chance, albeit a small one that they wouldn’t take the bait and they’d be forced to pursue the lawsuit if there was any way of stopping the magazine going to print. “I’m sitting here with Charlotte Mitchell in my office,” Joyce continued, “and she’s suing you for defamation unless you agree to a re-write of this weeks article?”
Lottie watched in silence as things were said on the other end of the telephone, Joyce’s face steady and constant, giving nothing away.
“It’s really this simple,” Joyce stated, “you either agree to redo the interview, or we’ll have you in legal hiatus for the next ten years … and you should check your website,” she added ironically, “apparently I’m told there that she can afford it!”
It didn’t look like they were winning this time, who ever Jon was he had the sense to know that once in print, getting the words retracted is a whole other story.
“May I?” Lottie asked, gesturing for the phone.
Joyce frowned, “Er, it’s not really …”
Lottie raised her eyebrows, pleading, so Joyce passed her the phone. She took a deep breath, watching Joyce as Joyce watched her back.
“Jon is it?” Lottie asked, acknowledging his response, “Lottie Mitchell, I need you to do me a favour,” she continued with her bargain before Jon had chance to reply, “I think you probably know my sister?” she began, playing to the greedy side of the media. “She detests interviews,” Lottie continued, “In fact I’m not sure I know the last time she ever gave one, let alone an exclusive in depth one with pictures and a personal account of how she and I have just take over our mothers trust fund and intend to start looking for projects as well as local media opportunities to sponsor and invest in. So I think you’d be best advised to reconsider my lawyer’s offer …” She repeated slowly, “it’s been nice talking to you.”

Of course Al can do it, especially if losing to Jenny is at stake. She’ll turn in something brilliant, cos Jenny must be destroyed! Or have her comeuppance. Or something. Anyway, yeah, total faith. I’m just curious, as to how all this is going to affect Lottie (and Bette), what with the public coming out and what not. I’m glad to see another chapter, thanks sofa.
jp22 is right. Of course Al can do it and she will, no doubt about it. Not only does Al get an interview with the elusive Bette and her rich/powerful little sister, she gets to fuck over Jenny, all at the same time! There IS a God and God is merciful! If it were me, I’d simply stick a spit up Jenny’s ass and roast her at the next backyard barbecue. Not that I don’t have a way with words, I just hate Jenny that much, the silly bitch. Kill her NOW! I’m still blaming her for the economy. But I do love the family coming together in the ultimate teamwork. And may Jenny’s career flounder. At least until she learns some decency and manners. And to wear clothes when answering the door. Always a joy to read you Sofa.
Jenny is a bitch and Im gonna kill her like I kill her on the show jk lol, but hope you make her gone soon. Lottie is good and handle thing well. Please post more, thanks!
go alice you can do it!!!!!! jenny needs to start packing her bags! :)PPS
Alice will rise to the occasion and save Jenny from the wrecking ball. Thanks, sofa!
Sofa, how the L did I get so far behind on this wonderful story, so sorry but I must admit it was great catching up. I know Alice will kick Jennys butt with her interview. I’m wondering how it is going to effect Angie and Tina. But I love the way everyone came together to help Lottie out that will most definitely help here with her feelings about how her family has been running the foundation. Thank you, Md aka Oma
Say what you want about me, but rule 1 to100 dont mess with my family. So Jenny did the unthinkable,she mess with the Porter girls and their family. Alice will make Jenny look like a First grader trying to print her name for the first time, She thinks thing one says them twice[to herself] an it becomes the truth. she is really pityful Thank goodness that some family and friends stick together.
Sofa lives!!!! Thanks for the *great*update-:)
Ohh, there is no doubt that Al can get it done. Jenny is a scumbucket and deserves anything bad that happens to her. The interview and photo shoot that goes with it will definitely do better than the crap that Jenny wrote.
Woah Lottie is a little sceamer! Can’t wait till jenny finds out her useless dripple wasn’t used by the magazine…then she’ll realize who she’s really up against! PPS
I’m all sarm’s said. Wish you finished this. Been 3 years since you post. :(
I always said ‘I love that Lottie’; she has brains, beauty and brass!!! Jenny destroyed, yippee. Go Al, Bette’s quite right. Al’s article will be done and brilliantly so…she loathes Jenny so will beat her ass!!! Love the story. Thx so much.
I can’t believe that you have been away for so long, catching you again makes me realize how much I’ve missed this story and your writing….TKS
thank you for another update! we have truly missed you!
yay! didn’t get to read it all, i’m rushing out the door and thought ‘ohhhh…i should check…’ and my instincts were right;) just for now, i have to say–i’ll always watch the show wishing they’d gone more into depth with ANY part of it. i would have settled for more of any character, but in particular, they dropped the ball on RS. she’s really an underused actress in an industry saturated with american crap–sorry, no offence BRANGELINA doufuses…i digress…it’s nice to read some in depth treatments of key characters, and summer vacation does that better than any other story. seriously. i mean that. it wasn’t just another forum for my little rants. THOUGH wasn’t it fun when jen aniston laughed at brangelina for losing BOTH times? ok, point being: you should write the screenplay for RS’s next film. non-linear line of thought, I know, but that’s just where I’m at. :)
I don’t coment very offen, but after reading this I just had to. You are a great writer, your writing makes me feel like a fly on the wall and just taking every thing in, its just so real. I know life gets in the way,maybe even that book you were thinking of writing,I don’t know, I’m not just asking, I’m begging you to please finish this, Its to good of a story to just let go. Thank you if you decide to and if you don’t its all your fans loss.
I so enjoyed this story and never wanted it to end but I now realise that there were no further posts after this one! I am so sad and frustrated also that I will not be taken to Paris and not know what happened to Jenny and oh …. so many things!
I can think of no better way than saying I just repeat sarm’s comment above!
Oh, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE write some more on this incredible story. I don’t want to be left hanging on what happened. You have too many exciting plot point to just leave it hanging. Please write another chapter, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
Wow, just spend 3 days to read this absolutely amazing story.
There is so much more to tell and it is sad it will not be finished.
Life can get in the way, but i still pray one day you will find the time or maybe the inspiration to continue with it.
Hi , would love an update to finish out the story – If you are up for it . Would love to hear what happens in Paris and some more Bette and Lottie talks . They have more to say to each other. Does Lottie change her major to art – and stay in L.A . Angie wants Lottie to stay in her life – well heck the whole family does .
Someone reccomended this story in a Facebook comment and I really enjoyed it .but sort of frustrated that if wasn’t finished . But I get how life and time gets in the way-
Please update I love this story so much
Oh my gosh I love this fic I truly wish we had more updates I love how you wrote Bette and Tina in this and their whole family and Angie secretly wanting a sibling this is incredible I truly wish this fic had finished
