“What do you mean that you are letting me go? Am I now ‘out in the cold’ as you put it earlier?”
“No. That was harsh. I’m sorry that I threatened you. It was a power play and I’m not proud of it. It really goes against everything that I believe in. You know your father and I inherited our fortunes. Our combined wealth bordered on the obscene when we got married. We were not pursuing further wealth as we already had more money than we could spend in three lifetimes but in spite of that we also had good business acumen and we made smart investments and profitable acquisitions over the 35 year partnership.
Our corporate mission and vision was always altruistic. We held to an ethical doctrine of strong core values and a philanthropic purpose. We felt like we had a moral obligation to help, serve and benefit others whenever we could. The fact is we were very successful in establishing this basis in our work but we failed to do it at home and we failed to instill moral values in you. Instead of teaching you to live by this doctrine we supported everything that went against it by indulging your bad habits and behavior. Every time we bailed you out of trouble we did it to uphold the integrity of the family name we were preserving for you; our sole heir. We were trying to hold onto the one thing that you’ve made every effort to destroy. The family name might not mean anything to you Helena but it meant everything to your father and me.
Helena I worked side by side with your father for 35 years. In line with our corporate mission his management style was paternalistic for the most part. He gave attention to the social needs and views of the people that worked for us. He consulted with our executive management team over employee issues and listened to their feedback and opinions before he made any final decisions. Even after all the input he sometimes found that they still needed direction. Ninety nine percent of the time he was right. The decisions he made were always in the best interest of the people even if they didn’t always see it at first or wholly agree with him.

I dont trust Helena. I see trouble for Bette and Tina.
I am sure Helena will find a way to cause Bette some hell..Maybe not right now but eventually she will
Helena is so cold. She will cause trouble for all.
This Helena seems to be more than arrogant and selfish. She seems to be a sociopath. And one with money to wreak havoc on others w/o any consequences unless she runs out of funds. She’ll probably want to destroy Bette b/c of sheer jealousy that Bette has her mother’s heart. Sickos like Helena aren’t happy and don’t want others to be happy either.
Wow. it was a really deep section, full of emotions.
I think Pegg last attempt to get closer to her daughter was really sad.
Helena is a true sociopath Well that says it all. and unfortunately there is truth, the way she treated people well in the show …
very few writers were able to characterize her a kind and caring woman worthy of love, which is a pity.
I’m like the rest of us. I feel that Helena will be wrong Bette’s life. I hope we’re wrong!
I don’t for one minute believe Helena is just going to let Bette take what she believes is hers im sorry but look out bette Helena is going to be on the war path pps.
Phew! Peggy said everything I had to say for your daughter, and I don’t trust Helena, I don’t think she’s going to let Bette receive the attention of Peggy.
Grand chapter.
Gosh, you have written Helena just as she is, the cold-hearted, treacherous bitch that she has become. I can’t imagine anyone doing the things that Peggy enumerated and think that her father betrayed her by not destroying the documents. Maybe one day she will discover just what she has done to everyone, hopefully she will discover this before she is physically hurt or put in jail for being the miscreant she has become. Feel sorry for Peggy and anyone else that she becomes involved with in the future because she does not think she has done anything wrong to anyone and she will continue to live the way she been doing and continue to do the things to other women that she has in the past. Hopefully when she encounters Bette she will not be able to hurt her. This is a great story. Enjoying it.
I hate when Helena interfere with Bette and Tina relationship, but other than that she’s my next favorite I loovvveee Helena!
