1982 (#18) - Jack's chairmanship at Jabot Cosmetics and Diane's requests

Following Jack's marriage, John as promised is ready to leave his son the position of president of Jabot Cosmetics. Ashley, however, despite not revealing Jack's betrayal to his father the night before the wedding, sends a warning to his father to try to desist from the decision. An angry John, however, silences his daughter, convinced that  it's just an outburst of jealousy, and thus formalizes the decision in front of an enthusiastic Jack. The first problems of Jack's new assignment, however, were coming. In fact Diane shows up in front of Jack, she turns out to be much smarter and ambitious than Jack could ever suspect. This, in fact, immediately puts Jack under blackmail as she threatens to reveal the whole truth if she doesn't get a job as a model. Jack is thus forced to mediate between Diane's demands and the expectations of his young wife, who dreams of a modeling job at Jabot. To complicate things there is also Ashley herself who is very annoyed by Diane's presence in the company and proposes instead to her father to replace the role of Chris, who left with Snapper in London, with Julia. John agrees to take on Julia, a decision he had already made in the past and it puts Jack in serious trouble. So he decides to take on Diane for the summer campaign, who promises to keep the secret, and also Julia after her success in promoting perfumes, immediately triggering Ashley's protests, but silenced by her father, confident in his son's decisions. Then Patty herself is disappointed, convinced, even though she is reluctant to put aside for now her dream of working at Jabot to dedicate herself to the house and her marriage. It's clear, however, how Jack finds himself immediately in difficulty in managing such an important position.
