[QUOTE="stevew, post: 41278, member: 130"] Pamela comes walking up from the pool where John Ross and Jack are versing Bo and Jessica at volleyball. Sue Ellen gets up and welcomes her as Jack noticed, quick to jump out of the water and run to hug his mother leaving her soaking wet. Rebecca steps up from where she'd been sitting with Sue Ellen. "What brings you to South Fork?" "Visiting my son." "From what I hear that doesn't happen often." Sue Ellen goes to intervene with questions about the up coming Oil Barron's Ball and then a car pulls up. They watch Amy get out and walk towards them. Rebecca says, "Oh look Jack Amy's here. The two of you should work on that painting you started. Not leaving his mother's side he says a very brisk hello. Amy replies, "Hello Jack. How are you?" "I'm fine." John Ross approaches and says, "Pamela, this is Amy Anderson. Amy, my x-wife, Pamela Barns." They greet each other and while Amy is cordial Pamela does appear to be happy to meet her. Pamela says, "Actually John Ross I would like to talk to you. Alone." John Ross agrees and the two walk to the other side of the pool where she says, "I got a note that my father sold his shares in Barnes Holdings today to The Lucerne Group. That wouldn't be you would it?" "I don't even know where your father is." "If you're gonna my after my company . . ." "I have no interest in Barnes Holdings. None. Maybe my father? What this mean for you?" "You know full well what it means." "So you didn't come over to be with your son? This is a business call." "I have worked all my life for this company. I'm not gonna let someone take it from me." Rebecca approaches. "No one took anything. Your father sold it." "To you!" "Yes to me. I made him a generous offer and he didn't feel he could refuse." "You bitch." "I've made Chris a fair offer as well." "What!" "I was very clear with you. The Barneses have no right to my grandfather's business." "You bitch!" "Me? Your family is rich because of my grandfather and I'm the bitch? I paid them a fair price what should just be mine. So be glad you've got anything." John Ross says, "There's no way Chris would sell his shares in Barnes Global and risk controlling CalcoHarwood." Pamela yells, "What the hell did you do to force him to sell?" "I'm not discussing my business with you. And I'd suggest you watch your tone, unless you're resigning." Jack, having pulled free from his grandmother stands in front of his mother facing His aunt and says, "Don't yell at my mother!" "I'm sorry Jack. I didn't mean to up set you." John Ross says to Rebecca, "Just go in the house. I'll handle this." "Oh I'm sure you had a hand in this already!" Pamela declares. "I'm sure you planned this whole thing!" "Planned it. I did just what my grandmother asked. I took care of Chris and Rebecca by using money she left in a trust for them to buy out their mothers. I even had to put in some of my own money. Chris's shares are in a trust. He couldn't sell them if he wanted. So I don't know what agreement went down between you and Chris but those shares aren't being sold." "What? You control Chris's shares?" Rebecca asks. "And yours. So how ever you got to Cliff Barnes doesn't change things." Pamela says, "Of course it does. I end up owning nothing when all's said and done." Rebecca says, "I want the name changed back to Wentworth Holdings." "Hell no!" Pamela yells, "I've worked my whole life to create this company." "Well now you can work less and be around for your son." "Keep my son out of it!" Pamela shoves Rebecca. Rebecca grabs Pamela's arm and the two go down into the pool. John Ross jumps in to pull them apart. Jack follow his father. Ruby jumps in from the other way to pull Rebecca away as she yells, "That bitch bit me. She actually bit me!" "I didn't bite you!" "Get her off this property! Put her out by the road with the rest of the trash! I can't believe she actually bite me." Ruby helps her into the house. John Ross with Jack close behind talks Pamela around to the side of the house. "Give me a chance to figure this out." "Figure it out! You got what you wanted. I've lost everything thanks to your family." "That's never what I wanted." "Pamela please listen to me." "Please listen to daddy." "This was not my intention. Please let me fix this."

"I'm not a child John Ross. You can't charm me like you do every simpleton. How many women before and after me have there been." "That's before and after. What do you want me to do, lock myself up in South Fork and pine away for you?" "I don't want anything from you. Except to stay away from my company." "Like you're staying away from mine. You don't think I know you and Chris plan on go my after Bo to get your hands on a piece of Ewing Oil." "What are you talking about?" "Don't give me that southern simple of yours. You know what I'm talking about. I make it my business to know what goes on in this town. Everything. I know how bad Chris wants Ewing Oil. I know how made he was when Uncle Bobby sold me his share and not CalcoHarwood. I also know that you want back every piece of Rebecca Wentworth's estate that your bumbling father lost. And I have a piece. Those aren't trade secrets." "Then make it easy and just sell me Wentworth Tool and Die." "Sure. But, the pattens your looking for aren't there." "What do you mean? Wentworth Tool and Die doesn't own those pattens anymore?" "They expired a long time ago." "But the technology." "Yes I still have that. I can have any facility manufacture what I need. If you need Wentworth Tool and Die do bad you can have it. But it's secrets stay secret." "Well of course. Why would I want everyone else to have my advantages?" "It's more than self interest, it's self preservation. You take on Wentworth Tool and Die, and you'll find out the world is a lot less safe than you'd bargained for. I give it to you, you have to accept BranchWater security." "What the hell are you talking about?" "I'll explain later. Go home. Get dried off. Let me speak to Rebecca." "I'm warning you John Ross." "Ya, ya, ya, I know. Just go on. I'll be over." In the back room of South Fork John Ross walks in and yells at Rebecca who's dried off and in a bath robe coming through with Ruby, "What the hell have you done!" "Taken back what's mine! And if you hadn't turned over Pamela's shares to that mutt you call a cousin, I'd have all it." "All of what? That company is nothing of what your grandmother left behind except some money in CalcoHarwood stock, a company that never even existed when she was a live. Everything it is Pamela created." "From Herbert Wentworth's legacy." "How much do you want for Cliff's share? I'll buy it for Jack." "I want the name." "Wentworth Tool and Die?" "Yes." "Done." John Ross drives up to a mansion far larger and ornate than South Fork. He walks up to the door and rings the bell. John Ross is shown into the living room of this mansion by a butler to find Pamela. He says, "Rebecca has agreed to sell me your father's share of Barnes Holdings. I've put it in trust for our son and put that trust in your control." He hands her the papers. "Until you exercise your option to over ride me." "Not at all." She takes the papers and says, "Why?" "Because I wanted to. I did sign over the names Wentworth Industries and Wentworth Tool and Die to Rebecca. I can't imagine they have that much value to you. As for it being part of your grandmother's estate that you feel you need to collect, if you think sending Jessica in to figure a way to manipulate Bo is gonna work, you don't know Bo." "I want the drilling technology." "No." "Then we've still got a problem." "So be it." John Ross walks out of the house leaving the door wide open. [/QUOTE]
