Anyone who saw a potential opportunity once exposed to a way to gain a lot of wealth or power would have their loyalties shift very fast.
Money could help anyone to go on the run and start again, but it was no good if they had to burn through it quickly to help them stay alive when being hunted down.
If Ash was seeking revenge, then it was possible that she would be seeking revenge on Gerald or others involved in the death of Max.
If she resorted to extreme measures and killed people, then Cerberus would be more aware of who was behind it than anyone, since they were the ones to give her what she needed to make such a thing possible.
They would know that she was the one to do anything that she would have gotten involved in, just like any other things that Ash had done as a part of her tasks for Cerberus.
With each task she had a part in, the more deeply she would be involved with Cerberus in how each task would make it even more difficult to escape.
