Agnes was utterly bewildered, "How does your drama with him have anything to do with me?"
Jenny spoke with a hint of pride, "Because you're still his Achilles' heel. Bullying you is the only way to get to him. Look, I barely had to push, and he agreed to let me see our son. I called just to thank you, in a way."
So that was it.
But knowing the truth only made Agnes feel worse.
Agnes countered, "Weren't you the one scared of any connection between Elton and me? Now you're dragging me into your mess. How does this serve you? I hope, in the future, you leave me out of whatever issues you two have, okay?"
Jenny sighed, "I had no choice. But don't worry, the past is the past for me. As long as I can marry Elton, we can still be friends."
Friends?
That was a stretch too far for Agnes.
Without another word, Agnes hung up the phone.
Sure enough, the news from the network exec soon followed.
The Primary Perspective was to remain in its prime time slot, with double the resources.
Yet, Agnes felt no joy.
It seemed her efforts were meaningless. No matter how hard she worked, control was always in someone else's hands.
To blacklist or to disrupt, at their whim.
Once could happen again, courtesy of Jenny.
