Chapter 2473 She and Matthew walked ahead, with Sanford following a few steps behind.
As he passed Howard, Sanford exchanged a subtle glance with him.
Howard responded with a confident nod, and seeing this, Sanford finally relaxed, his lingering concerns fading away.
Howard personally escorted them to the door.
Matthew, resolute in his demeanor, firmly held Stellas hand and guided her to his car.
Surprisingly, Sanford didnt put up an argument this time.
Instead, he silently turned and got into his own vehicle.
Inside Sanfords car, the driver turned out to be the sman who had earlier escorted Stella away.
Sanfords expression darkened slightly.
In a cold, commanding tone, he instructed, Leave Dorburn tonight.

Yes, sir.
Just then, Sanfords phone rang abruptly.
Glancing at the screen, he saw Declans nflashing.
He hesitated for a brief moment, took a deep breath to compose himself, and then answered the call.
Declans voice cthrough, sharp with anxiety and anger.
Sanford, have you found the location of the treasure map? Sanfords tone remained calm as he replied, Neither Stella nor Bella remembers anything.
I couldnt get any information from them.
Upon hearing this, Declan erupted in fury, his voice echoing with anger.
Sanford, have you been scheming behind my back? How could you fail to uncover anything? Sanford sneered, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
Declan, those were all your men.
Even Howard was someone you brought in to assist with this operation, and the hypnotist? That was also your doing.
My only role was to bring Stella and Bella to the designated location.
If you think I have the power to manipulate everything behind your back, then I have nothing more to say.
If youre still suspicious, go ahead and question Kinsey again.
Declans frustration stemmed from his inability to extract any valuable information from Kinsey, fueling his suspicions of Sanford.
Yet, unwilling to relinquish his pursuit of a fortune so vast, he pressed on.
Sanford, Declan demanded, when you were with Kori, did he ever mention any specific locations? There might be clues to the treasure hidden there.
Sanford paused, as though something flickered in his memory, but he remained composed.
With a casual shrug, he replied, No.
Kori was solely focused on overseeing my studies.

He never mentioned anything else to me. Declan was silent for a moment, his mind racing before he finally instructed, Stay close to Stella and the Lowell family. Interrogate every member thoroughly.
Someone among them must know where the treasure is hidden.
Sanford nodded in acknowledgment.
Understood.
With that, he ended the call.
After ending the call, he turned to the bodyguard behind the wheel and commanded firmly, Head back to Lyllmann and locate Mr.
D.
Tell him to begin the preparations immediately.
In that moment, Sanford silently resolved to dismantle Declansinfluence, gradually erode his power, and ultimately usurp his position, claiming control over everything for himself.
Stella and Bella, mindful not to disrupt Whitneys routing, had moved out of her residence and checked into of a hotel before attending the event.
