Not just contempt-- I also noticed paranoia in Robin's words. She's not just mindful of the risk of being overcharged, she's positively obsessed with it. She was obsessed with the risk of being overcharged to the expense of every other risk.
I suspect her defensiveness may have been a reaction to her feeling overwhelmed by her responsibilities.

"may have been a reaction to her feeling overwhelmed by her responsibilities."
Interesting. I had not thought of that. But I think you might be correct.
