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

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.
