Ranaway From Wedding, Fell into Tycoon's Love Trap-Chapter 481 Awkward Encounter 5
After listening to Thomas Fisher’s explanation, Benjamin Shaw didn’t continue to press the matter, because he knew his wife was very capable, as his parents had told him.
His parents also told him that his wife was not only beautiful but also particularly competent, much better than those pretty "vases" with nothing but a pretty face.
Previously, he thought his parents were just embellishing Alice Turner’s image to ensure he married her.
Now it seemed his wife was indeed very capable, able to help others negotiate business deals, and successfully at that.
"Why are you so unlucky? Getting a woman to help you with a business deal. Don’t tell anyone I know you in the future." While Benjamin Shaw didn’t doubt Thomas Fisher’s story, he still jokingly mocked him, but his sarcasm carried no malice or ill intent.
Having been brothers with Benjamin Shaw for many years, Thomas Fisher could easily tell Benjamin was joking. He didn’t feel even a hint of anger or displeasure, but he deliberately put on a stern face.
"Who told you guys not to help me? I’m this unlucky, it’s your responsibility too." He pushed all the responsibility onto his three good brothers, but he was only saying it and didn’t truly think this way. Wasn’t he also very capable?
"Right! It’s our responsibility, and you have none at all."
"Of course, if the younger brother is useless, the older brothers should be responsible."
Benjamin Shaw and Thomas Fisher continued joking sentence by sentence, while the two women who had successively gone to the restroom were not idle either; at this moment, they were sizing each other up in the restroom.
After washing her face with cold water, Alice Turner felt much clearer-headed than before. She leaned against the washstand, watching Sophie Snow, who was not far from her.
This woman was indeed very beautiful, with long curly hair draped over her shoulders, crescent-shaped eyebrows, a well-shaped nose, cherry-like lips, an oval face that was mesmerizingly beautiful, skin as fair as snow and as smooth as cream, a graceful figure, and an elegant demeanor.
A woman like this, wouldn’t any man like her?
"To what stage have you two developed?"
Alice Turner suddenly spoke, breaking the silent atmosphere.
Sophie Snow was intently observing Alice Turner; she didn’t expect Alice to speak suddenly, which startled her, and the words that entered her ears further astonished her.
"Please don’t misunderstand, the two of us are just ordinary friends." Sophie Snow didn’t lie; she and Benjamin Shaw really were just ordinary friends, with nothing ambiguous between them.
Although Alice Turner had drunk quite a bit, her eyes weren’t blind, and she hadn’t lost her sixth sense. The moment she saw Sophie Snow and Benjamin Shaw together, she sensed that the relationship between them wasn’t that simple.
"Then you have to work harder."
Was she blind? Or so drunk that she was oblivious?
Though she hadn’t encountered countless people, she had seen plenty of diverse individuals, and she could instantly tell that this woman in front of her harbored hostility towards her.
Where did this hostility originate? She didn’t even need to think to know.
"Work harder at what?!"
Sophie Snow feigned innocence, pretending not to hear the implication in Alice Turner’s words, and asked with feigned surprise, even donning a surprised and puzzled expression to match what she was saying.
"Of course, work harder at flirting with my husband, I’m rooting for you!" Alice Turner could clearly see Sophie Snow was putting on an act, but she willingly played along with Sophie’s ruse, though her words made Sophie feel uncomfortable and angry.
