Factual error: When Cruella first drives her iconic car, being in Britain the driver's seat should be on the right side, not the left.

Answer: The Baroness probably thought that if she gave Estella's adoptive mother money and help that time, she would keep asking for more and more money under threat of revealing the secret that the Baroness was the girl's real mother. Killing her meant one less person who knew her secret and could hold it over her.
