Yeah you're right, it's been a while since I played through the start and I got the order of events wrong.
Still doesn't change the fact that his mother obviously knew about the board meeting and should have given him heads up she was not going to vote with him beforehand, since he did visit them and she had plenty of opportunity to do so. Instead choosing to withhold that information in favor of backstabbing him in front of the board. Doesn't matter if she wasn't there in person, its her vote that counted, not her physical presence in the room. The fact that she didn't even do it in person, instead having some other board member relay the news is even more insulting imo.
The sheer fact that she voted together with the assholes that ruined her family, probably killed her husband and drove her son away, against her own son, is why I'll never trust her. She knowingly chose to side with people who've been actively attacking her family in one way or another for years at that point. And the excuses she used to try and justify it rang hollow to me. If you're going to make a character do a heel turn like that you can't just expect everyone to immediately forgive them or even like them after.
And if you want a character to be liked you shouldn't have one of their first acts in the game after meeting them be screwing the protagonist over.
Mom didn't know, none of them even voted. The board did what they wanted with the votes
