Seeing Benjamin Shaw with a woman, Thomas Fisher instinctively tried to help Lily Turner avoid them, but before he could turn around, he saw her pointing at Benjamin in the distance and exclaiming, "That man looks like your elder brother! Look quickly!"
Because she had been drinking, she couldn't control the volume of her voice when she exclaimed.
Thomas rubbed his forehead in frustration and followed Alice Turner's direction. Indeed, Benjamin had noticed them, and it was too late to dodge.
Alice's exclamation drew disapproving looks from the surrounding guests and caught Benjamin's attention. He looked up toward the source of the voice.
The scene of Thomas supporting Alice immediately entered his line of sight, and he was completely stunned.
Hadn't she said she couldn't get away at noon because she had something to do? So, her "something" was having a meal with his friend.
