What it sounds like
You were trying to protect only yourself.
What it really means
“Eloise rejects Penelope’s claim that she acted to protect her, accusing her of using the scandal to preserve her own interests.”
Said today
“You weren’t trying to save me; you were just protecting your own skin.”
What was happening
Penelope says she exposed Eloise to convince the queen that Whistledown was not Eloise. Eloise argues that Penelope’s real motive was to keep her identity and income safe, despite the harm to people she cared about.
