The people Pearl invited weren't all the socialites she had offended before. Instead, she picked a few close friends. On one hand, it was to show off the Landon Family's relationship with the Shaw Family; on the other hand, it was a way to vent her frustration. After the last charity sale, many people were gossiping behind her back, saying she lacked a prominent background and owed her current standing entirely to Crystal Landon's favor and the Shaw Family's support. She was holding a grudge in her heart. She couldn't care less if they were not friendly towards her, but talking behind her back like that made her deliberately not invite them, just to anger them.
