Personally Jacques line about "It's time to face reality" basically was a roundabout way of telling Weiss that she would have never been the sucessor. Jacques was letting Weiss delude herself into thinking she could become the boss of the SDC but he decided enough was enough and told her the honest truth That, or... he simply meant "if you think you could rebel so much, cause a ruckus during a charity party, and demand what you want on top of it, without any repercusions, you're deluding yourself."

Basically, the idea that Jacques made Weiss believe she would be the heir without actually planning to make her the heir, is rather absurd. More believably, that was his original idea....but Weiss was becoming so rebelious, and he changed his mind.
