Some perceptive people had already figured it out — what Steve Price was implying was that entering the Coriell family's banquet hall meant affiliating oneself with them... Being on good terms with the Coriells meant being against the Mamet family...
Given a choice between the two families, they knew which side to take.
So, many people halted their steps without continuing into the banquet hall; they also took out their phones to contact those who had already entered, urging them to come out immediately. It was not worth offending the Mamet family for a single banquet!
Vita Coriell gritted her teeth, knowing well Caleb Mamet's capabilities. If he chose not to go in today, more than half of the guests at the Coriell's banquet would leave!
She hurried forward and explained, "Caleb, it's all a misunderstanding. I didn't... I didn't say that Miss Evans's invitation was false. It was all Naomi's mistake. Miss Evans, you can go in, you can go in whenever you want."
