How much were these treasures worth?
The jewelry alone was worth millions of dollars, not to mention that there were so many priceless artworks. They could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars!
Diego was about to be filthy rich!
He was so excited by the great surprise and wealth that his face turned red.
Laura was tied up in the bedroom, unable to move at all. All she could hear was Diego rummaging through some drawers in the other room.
A wall clock ticked away the minutes. She glanced up, only to find four minutes had passed since they entered the house.
Although the house was filled with valuables, they were all neatly placed.
It would only take him a few minutes to pack them!
So it seemed to be impossible for Max to arrive before Diego finished packing.
She exhausted every way to save herself, but it looked like she couldn't escape from this after all.
With this in mind, Laura couldn't help but give a wry smile.
In fact, she was not afraid but regretful.
She used to be hesitant. Only now did she realize that when you were on the verge of death, all the fear and hesitation before would be insignificant.
She slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
However, at that moment, she faintly heard the sound of a car engine.
She froze for a moment, opened her eyes in shock, and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window in the second-floor bedroom. She saw a familiar car coming this way.
Laura was excited at seeing the car.
But she didn't dare and couldn't make a sound because of the cloth in her mouth.
Finally, she could only stare at the headlights. She watched as it came closer and finally stopped at the door downstairs.
Laura held her breath.
Because she was in the room close to the road, she could faintly hear the sound. She wasn't sure if Diego had noticed the car.
She could only hold her breath, wait, and pray that Diego would not notice.
In fact, Diego hadn't realized that someone came.
It was the first time he had seen so many treasures. He was ecstatic and let his guard down.
He didn't notice anything.
However, Max and Jim had entered the villa gingerly.
Because they came first, the others were still on their way. He was worried about Laura, so he and Jim came first.
He didn't have time to call for people to surround the villa. He was afraid that too much noise would attract Diego's attention and put Laura in danger.
Familiar with the villa, Max led Jim to the second floor in the dark.
From a distance, he saw the lights on in the coat closet and one of the bedrooms.
He gestured to Jim. Jim went to the closet and he rushed to the bedroom.
Laura was tied to the end of the bed with her back to the door. She was staring out the window and wondering if they had entered.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of very soft footsteps behind.
It was very soft, but she was extremely nervous and alert.
She subconsciously tried to turn back.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar face.
"Umm... um..."
