Even if her daughter had not lied to her face, there is no reason for our protagonist to lower herself to this level. There isn't really anything that she can say that would somehow lead him to give her a second chance after the truth was revealed.

Right. Our protagonist already defended her daughter, and it came back to bite her. She can be there for her daughter as she grieves the relationship that she destroyed, and she can help her pick up the pieces and become a better person. But she cannot undo the mistake she made.

Mom refuses to beg son-in-law not to divorce her daughter after she cheats on him and lies to her face about it: "She betrayed not just her husband but everyone who stood up for her"
When cheaters make the decision to betray their loved one, it is not only their partner who suffers. Everyone in a cheater's life is impacted by their selfish behavior. Naturally the partner's family will likely not want anything to do with the cheater. However, cheaters might also be shunned by their own families and friends. The act of infidelity is not often an isolated event, but a whole choreographed scheme accomplished through deceit, selfishness, and manipulation. Most people do not want people with these qualities in their inner circles.
In our story today, a mother is betrayed just as much as her son-in-law is when her daughter has an affair with a family friend. Not only does she lie to our protagonist's face when she confronts her about rumors concerning her infidelity, but she then begs her to talk to her soon-to-be ex-husband on her behalf to convince him not to go through with the divorce. Betrayed, our protagonist refuses.
