Her "grudge" was what allowed her to be convinced by Raven to attempt entrapment of all of Ozpin's forces to ostensibly kill Qrow/Ruby.

Had she not bothered they could have entered the vault En Masse, killed Raven/Vernal when she betrayed them, and escaped or gone on to kill Ozpin's group before Blake or the WF showed up.

Her "Greed" was what caused her downfall, Killing Vernal was unnecessary, had she not backstabbed Vernal and attempted to steal the maiden powers with her arm, she may have been able to focus enough on efficiently killing both her prey, or simply lived through it to see raven steal the relic/open the door.
