Anthony's face showed surprise, "How could your injury be related to this?"

Reese sighed helplessly, "You know that besides me, the Roberts Family doesn't have any other connections at Strakovski Jewelry. But Alexa wants to marry Gerald, so she can only find a way through me. My father used what my mother left for me to threaten me to ask Lukas to help Alexa get into Strakovski Jewelry."

Reese looked weary, "I really had no other option. The Hughes Family was hesitating and didn't know which family to form an alliance with. My father kept urging me to beg Lukas for help. But he pushed too hard, and considering Lukas's personality, there's no way he would easily let someone with questionable behavior like Alexa to enter the company. I guess even if I asked him, it wouldn't work. I was left with no choice but to resort to a desperate measure and sneak into the Roberts Family villa to steal something."

Anthony frowned deeply, "So, you got injured when you went back to the Roberts Family villa to take something."

Reese nodded, "When I was taking the item, my father came back. At that time, I was with Ava, and I didn't want my father to see her and cause her any trouble. So we tried to climb down from the second floor through the window. Halfway through, I was already nervous, and the sound of my father unlocking the door startled me, causing me to fall and sprain my foot."

Anthony looked at her with a touch of heartache, "Did you get the item?"

With a hint of disappointment, Reese replied, "I didn't get anything; it was an empty shell. My father had separated the envelope and the letter."

Anthony felt even more heartache. He didn't expect Reese to be injured and busy for nothing.

He was about to comfort her when his phone rang again, interrupting the moment. Anthony sighed inwardly, realizing it was a call from Ella.

As much as he sympathized with Ella's situation, he couldn't shake the feeling of disgust, knowing that she had originally planned to target him.
