As much as having Carter here would benefit that desire as well so that you'd have his help to overpower Maria and anyone potentially with her, his presence also serves as a voice of reason. Of sorts, that you're willing to at least hear him out before committing to anything emotionally. And while he can't convince you to give up on this vendetta of yours, he can convince you to call it a night and leave from here, for now. Not like Maria is any great threat, but better to engage her when you're fully prepared so that you can act against her as much as you want to without any need to hold anything back.
Besides, you got what you came here for really. So eventually you can take your leave of the condo after letting the nasty little dog out again, fuming and grumbling all the way but otherwise cooperative with Carter's wishes of getting the hell out of here as quick as possible before anyone gets home or notices what you're doing. Back into the corridor, then the stairwell and all the way down to the ground floor where you can find a separate entrance and go to hop a fence. Better than risking notice or footage for anything that could place you.
Not a satisfying culmination to the night's efforts, but admittedly an overall successful one. To have reclaimed your belongings and found the culprit, within an evening and all without needing to get your hands dirty. The power of teamwork! Or something like that, perhaps the power of money and connections instead.
