The engagement banquet jointly held by the Shaw Family and the Morgan Family was, of course, attended only by people of high status; nearly everyone in Silvercrest with influence and a reputation was present.
Many young gentlemen, ladies, and socialites who fancied themselves to be from prestigious families loved this kind of drama: watching how the illegitimate daughter born from the mistress trampled the fallen heiress of the legitimate wife, who had been cast out of her own home.
Watching this spectacle was far more exhilarating than basking in praise for their one-of-a-kind custom-made luxury purchases.
Stepping on someone versus watching someone else get stepped on—it's a world of difference for them.
