The exemplary female Sloane Ranger (FSR) as described by the book was Lady Diana Spencer before her marriage to Charles, Prince of Wales, however most SRs came from slightly less exalted backgrounds (i.e.

The term Sloane Ranger was coined by a subeditor at Harpers and Queen–an upscale, British glossy–to describe a particular type of conservative, upper-class Brit, the kind that reads the Financial Times, eats jello with a fork and regards Sloane Square–in Chelsea at the end of the King’s Road–as the center of the universe.
Sloane Rangers, or Sloanes, are the British equivalent of preppies.
Sloane Rangers may be considered a bit passe over here, but over in your country some people–particularly rich, white people–still think they’re pretty glamorous.

 Your daughter's very lovely - AllAlias.com
Sloane might be listening to “the better angels of his nature,” but make no mistake: he's already had the rug pulled out from under his better life and until he finds a cure for Nadia, he's willing to put his angelic side on hold.
They may feel that he should be all kinds of grateful for their help, but we know that Sloane is the sort of guy who prefers to be in the driver's seat.
In this case, Jack might be presenting Sloane with an unspoken opportunity to doublecross his "benefactors," knowing that Sloane is not one to gladly march along in someone's yoke--especially someone who might well prefer to operate on a need-to-know basis.

Jack and Sloane had been working in tandem for most of the season, and like you said, since Sloane didn't let Jack in on what he was doing, Jack, along with everybody else, had no choice but to think that Sloane had betrayed them.
Sloane assured Nadia that he was going to make things right when she was blaming herself about bringing Elena/Sophia to the house.

Sloane Rangers were the young women, and sometimes the young men, who brought a cachet of old money to a new and swinging gathering as they gravitated towards and around the expensive environs of Sloane Square.
Another, smaller clique that drew York's attention was found a very long way from his gal-about-town Sloane Ranger.
Different in temperament, different in economic and social class, the Neurotic Boy Outsider was an intense, introverted, marginalised male who found himself drawn inexorably to the pop song as his medium of expression.
