I smiled and replied that I had a way to make things turn out for the better. I knew that even if this middle seat was not as comfortable as the one I had given up, it would still be worth it. I let the couple think they had won, while secretly planning my next move.
An hour after the flight had stabilized, I signaled to the flight attendant, indicating that I wanted to talk to the purser. I explained the situation to the purser in detail, emphasizing how the couple had deceived me into swapping seats. She listened attentively, promised to handle it properly, and thanked me for bringing the issue to her attention.
Shortly after, the purser came back with an offer: I could either get my original seat back or receive a large number of airline miles, which could be used for upgrades on my next three flights. After doing some mental calculations, I realized that the value of these miles far exceeded the price difference between the first – class and economy class on this flight, so I gladly chose the miles.
Subsequently, I noticed some activity near the couple’s seat in row 3. The purser and another flight attendant were questioning them about their fraudulent behavior. The purser sternly warned that their actions violated airline regulations and they would face serious consequences. During the investigation, they might even be placed on the no – fly list.
As the woman tried to defend herself, her face instantly turned deathly pale. In a panic, she blurted out that they were not husband and wife at all. In fact, she was his mistress, and they were having an affair.
After the plane landed, I picked up my luggage and couldn’t help but take one more look at the couple. When they realized that they would have to face numerous troubles after this trip, the arrogant expressions on their faces were instantly replaced by a mixture of anger and embarrassment. As I strolled through the airport, a strong sense of satisfaction welled up inside me.
In my thirty – three – year life journey, I’ve gradually come to understand that sometimes, revenge doesn’t have to be a grand show. Instead, it’s about making those who think they’ve won truly realize how terribly wrong they are. This is the victory of wisdom!
