was giddy about seeing her mother imprisoned and miserable

Personally when I first read that side story I thought the smirk was more because she gleamed some information from Veronica's wailing. I was pretty focused on trying to figure out what sort of information Veronica might have encoded or if it was just painting a target on Rozemyne and Ferdinand for Georgine. Didn't realize it until much later that that was just schadenfreude on her part, so I wouldn't really blame someone for missing that on first reading either.

With how much you can read into some of the interactions and events, it can be easy to overanalyze a simple smirk.
