Mrs. Sally Byde's tea parties have always included a key figure in recent years—socialite Lady Delly.
According to Lady Delly's own whimsical description,
it was a trade between her and Mrs. Sally Byde, through which she gained influence in the upper-class social circle, while Mrs. Byde extracted the Baide Family's network and wove it into her own through these tea parties.
The two were jointly nibbling away at the Baide Family's influence.
Mrs. Byde, after all, controlled the Baide Family by virtue of her husband Mr. Bide's power, and she was not about to let the power slip from her fingers the day her bedridden husband passed away.
"Money makes the mare go," as they say; junior bosses scattered money generously, and there were plenty of private designers who loved to drag their feet happy to rush the wizard robes overnight for them.
Understated, yet luxurious.
Such was the nefarious requirement of this client.
