He can't help himself. Ralph 2 is worse than the Gunt, any Father worthy of the name would be mortified that they had failed so badly as a parent their daughter fled in the middle of the night to be Gunted, and when she returned (after a session in a psychiatric hospital where she talked about how much he used to abuse her) impregnated with a Guntling of her own, he would quietly try to put things right and make up for that failure in private.
Not Vickers, using the results of his bad parenting to cling on to any scraps of clout he can by his fingernails, and constantly poking the pig, making a very public show of himself, his daughter, and his whole family.
Vickers can crow about how he's supposedly "winning" all he likes, but he'll never be able to change the fact that his Bloodline has been eternally Gunted as a result of his bad parenting, and all he's doing is further embarrassing himself and making his family a fucking 24/7 Jerry Springer exhibit, permanently scrabbling for clout at the feet of Ralph, without whom he would be nothing.
Dignity is a foreign concept for Vickers, he needs that E Clout, even though the only reason anyone pays him any attention isn't on his own merits, it isn't through any talent of his, the only reason peoppe pay him any attention is as a fly buzzing around Ralph to annoy him, everything Vickers has that means anything to him came from suckling from the Gunt.
