Ava, who also heard the noise and footsteps, frowned and said, "Someone's back."

Reese's expression changed slightly, and she immediately closed the documents. "Ava, let's get out of here." She said.

Ava furrowed her eyebrows, "The person is coming upstairs. If we leave now, we might run into them."

Reese quickly surveyed the area, "We can't hide in the study; they will find it soon. We..."

Her gaze fell on the window next to the study, "Let's go through the window. You go first, hurry!"

Ava glanced at Reese but didn't argue. They had to get away before they are seen by whoever came into the Roberts family villa. She quickly climbed out of the window and descended along the water pipe.

Reese walked to the study's entrance, locked the door from the inside, and then quickly climbed out of the window.

As Ava was halfway down the water pipe, she saw Reese climb out of the window, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Neither of the girls had ever done anything so dangerous before, and Ava, whose body is not conditioned to do extreme physical activities like what they are doing right now, found it difficult to climb down the water pipe. Her hands were cut, and her arms trembled slightly as she climbed down.

Reese had just climbed onto the water pipe when she heard someone kick the study door.

She suspected that Ricardo had returned, as otherwise, other people wouldn't have headed directly to the study.

As she was thinking this, she suddenly heard someone using a heavy object to hit the study room door.
