Thomas Fisher was merely telling the truth, not using lies to deceive Easton Holmes and Benjamin Shaw. He just didn't plan to reveal the specifics of the situation, as he didn't want his two brothers to misunderstand anything.
"You're a grown man, and you need a woman to help you with business. Aren't you ashamed?" Easton Holmes could see that Thomas wasn't lying, and upon learning the truth, he couldn't help but tease his good brother. However, he had no malicious intent.
Upon hearing this, Thomas blurted out, "Why are you like Third Brother? You both think I'm not as capable as a woman."
He knew his two brothers didn't mean it that way and weren't trying to put him down, but he still felt aggrieved and voiced his protest.
"Does your Third Brother know you went drinking with your Third Sister-in-law?" Easton heard this from Thomas's words, which truly surprised him. He was just worried about how to explain it to Benjamin Shaw if he knew, but it turned out he was overthinking it.
