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.
