To be pissed off?

So to make a long story short.... my mother is obsessed with my brother in law (they have become very close, so much so that people think their having an affair, even my dad has started drinking more which we all think is to cope with it).
ANYWAY.... BIL has just bought a new house as he is recently divorced, it needs work doing such as new kitchen etc.
I work at a small firm and one our clients is a property developer. We're having a catch up one day and he's telling me about his new house and he's excited for his kitchen to be completed etc.
When I mention BIL starting his kitchen, he says "oh I get 70% off at ..... through my company tell him to order it through me and I'll just invoice him through the company"
WIN WIN!
So I tel BIL about this and he's happy to be using the kitchen company as its known for being really high quality.
I mention it to my mother on the phone and say "I will probably go with BIL and make sure he tells the staff at the kitchen place the info they need so .... doesn't reject the order"
She is VERY jealous and possessive of BIL and has told other BIL the name of the company and told him to order the kitchen.
He told me this last night after we all went out for dinner (without my mother, which she was also pissed off about us not rearranging as she couldn't make it last night) and I am RAGING!!
I told MY client that I would email or text him with the details of the kitchen and BIL details so he wouldn't reject it from the kitchen company.
The thing I am pissed off about is that I wasn't told about this and my client may have got a call at the weekend from the kitchen company and not be happy that I haven't contacted him BECAUSE I WASN'T TOLD ABOUT THEM ORDERING THE KITCHEN.
AIBU??
Sorry to make it a long post but I needed to give some vital details this is still a stripped back version of the story.

Skirting around the issue isn't cutting it. Be blunt. If she gets offended, so be it. Sorry but it's overstepping boundaries and it's impacting others.

@Justonemorepancake I tend to try and avoid confrontation full stop with her as I always come off as the bad guy.
I am waiting for it to all explode at the moment as she had her head up his ass and criticises me at every opportunity little butchy things like "ooh you've got a spot on your chin" and goes to squeeze it IN PUBLIC WHEN I HAVE MAKEUP ON! I have to physically push her away.
