After an intense conversation with his father forcing him to go to the conference, James makes a decision in the spur of the moment when rehearsing lines with Lydia in the car, and decides to go to the gala.

He views her as beneath them and resorts to blackmail, threatening to destroy Ruby's future to force James to break things off.
