They weren’t obstacles that happened to cross her. She activaley sought them out and she paid the prize for it.

The whole ‘It was all Salem’s idea’ argument doesn’t work because Cinder is known to deviate from her plans to cause more bloodshed then was intended and when she does kill someone under Salem’s orders, its clear that she is enjoying it. This isn’t the case of a soldier merely doing their duty and nothing more, setting aside his feelings for the cause. This is someone who is fully aware of what she is doing and enjoys every minute of it and will go out of her way to make things worse. Revenge is a more simple motive, but there is also an argument that Cinder sees Ruby as a threat that needs to be eliminated. As far as enjoying it, I don't think we've seen clear evidence of that.
