Betrayed by the Help: She Stole More Than Just My Louis Vuitton.

Summary

Brenda was a single mother.

She worked diligently for my family for 20 years.

Before the holidays, she had an appendectomy and had no one to care for her at home.

So, I let her bring her daughter over to stay with us through New Year's.

On New Year's Eve, I gave Crystal a cash gift in an envelope.

She pulled it out and counted it right in front of me.

"Tsk, only $2000? That wouldn't even cover one of your handbags."

A few days later.

I noticed that one of my classic monogrammed LV bags in the closet looked… faded.
