So, Vera Xavier declared with a self-righteous air, "Of course not. Susan Caldwell must have done something completely outrageous, and the victim's family couldn't contain their anger. That's why they came to demand justice from her."
In reality, after the hotel manager told Vera that the scarf stall owner had been beaten and critically injured two days ago, she had immediately sent Jack Judd to gather people and make a series of arrangements.
As she saw it, she had already made a sworn enemy of Susan Caldwell. Given Susan's vicious nature, she definitely wouldn't let Vera off the hook.

Furthermore, with the status Susan Caldwell was flaunting, it would be all too easy for her to harm them. Vera refused to just sit back and wait to be attacked, so she decided to use every resource at her disposal to go after Susan Caldwell.
