The Smiths, Jane’s employers, planned a luxurious holiday and brought Jane along to care for their children, promising to cover all expenses. However, upon returning, they demanded Jane pay $1000 for her plane tickets. Unable to afford it, Jane devised a plan.
Realizing the Smiths’ reputation mattered to them, Jane anonymously emailed key members of their social circle about her mistreatment. Gossip spread quickly, damaging the Smiths’ standing. Mrs. Smith’s habit of borrowing items and not returning them also came to light, further tarnishing their reputation.
At a luncheon, Jane subtly fueled the gossip. The next day, many friends demanded their belongings back, embarrassing Mrs. Smith. That evening, Mr. Smith accused Jane of sending the email and fired her.
Jane moved back home, but soon received an unexpected call from Mrs. Johnson, one of the Smiths’ friends. Over tea, Mrs. Johnson expressed her disgust at the Smiths’ behavior and offered Jane a better job with higher pay and improved conditions. Grateful and relieved, Jane accepted.
Jane found solace in her new position, knowing she had earned her place with the Johnsons.
