It could go further than just harsh words. Being the Fargos' main/source family AND the head of the Astromancy department, the Animuspheres are in a very good position to take over the Fargos' research along with its assets. This fiasco would be a perfect excuse and Mary won't be able to stop them unless she seek help from another family/faction, which would in turn come with its own hefty price. For her, it'll be a no-win situation (though the silver lining would be that she'd probably still have her freedom).
Of course, I don't know if Marisbury would go to that extent, but that's the kind of dog-eat-dog society they live in.
