Chapter 1165: Chapter 601: Just like how you can’t stand me yet can’t do anything about it! _2

The incident of the theft at the British National Museum had basically fallen off the trending searches. After all, many things happen in the world every day, war is mainstream, disasters are the focus, celebrity scandals and tax evasions grabbed attention, and unlimited actions by internet celebrities led to controversies. There were just too many such issues.

So when over 2,000 yet-to-be-displayed cultural relics were stolen, it heated up for a while, became a hot topic again with the airing of a three-part series, and as time went by, even news about Japan discharging nuclear wastewater was no longer new. The news about the loss of cultural relics became non-news when some people deliberately chose to forget.

But with the exposure of the secret auction of the relics in Britain, it went viral again!

The museum, already troubled by many countries’ claims for the return of relics, had just managed to cool things down, but now this happened, and even Britain’s Royal Family was alarmed.

The result was a directive from the Prime Minister’s Office: a thorough investigation!

Not only did this reveal Harrison, but his backstage supporters were also thrown out as scapegoats by even more powerful shadowy figures.

Although Britain kept it tightly under wraps, Robert still got the news and relayed it to Sean Knight.

At this time, Sean Knight was vacationing in New York, and upon hearing the news, he was quite moved.

When will it be possible to rightfully reclaim what they had stolen and looted?

However, he quickly lost interest in the issue of the relics, once again enveloped by Joanna Davis’s enthusiasm.

When they resumed normal conversation, it had already been the afternoon of the second day.

In New York, Sean Knight had mostly transferred out his assets. The Freight Yard was now under Jason Caldwell’s name, most of the Manor and Farmhouse were under Kathy Lewis’s name, and Joanna had two Villas.

Sean Knight only kept one Villa and a small Farmhouse for himself, and although they were worth over several tens of millions of dollars, if he really had to part with them, it wouldn’t be too heartbreaking.

Now the two of them were in Sean Knight’s small Villa—the Villa wasn’t large, but the Location was quite good, in the Long Island Wealthy Area, with good public order, and the neighbors were quite decent. Paparazzi were basically absent from this area.

"International Trade has been doing quite well recently. My father’s Ocean-going cargo ships are almost never idle. He’s planning to buy a few more, and he also wants to take advantage of the War..."

"It’s better not to," Sean Knight advised immediately, "That kind of Money is not easy to earn, and it can lead to big losses."

"Sean, you’re not saying this because you’re from China and have sympathy for Russia, are you?"

Sean Knight ran his fingers through Joanna’s hair, thinking his woman was quite independent in thought, just misdirected. He said:

"It’s not because of that. It’s because many merchant ships involved in this War have been bombed. Think about it, even a second-hand Ocean-going cargo ship costs several tens of millions of dollars and takes many years to break even. But if it gets bombed, your whole investment is gone—you should ask if there are any insurance companies willing to cover such journeys—if yes, then you can consider it."

Listening to Sean Knight’s objective analysis, Joanna nodded and kissed Sean, laughing as she said:

"You’re right, I will make a phone call to my father later."

"Let’s go have some food," Sean Knight said as he got up, "Ms. Kathy must have the dishes ready by now."

"All right," Joanna replied happily. Sean always called her to meet Kathy, which, to Joanna, meant Sean didn’t see her as an outsider.

Kathy indeed had the dishes ready, and when Sean arrived, she smiled and instructed the cook to serve the food.

After eating, Kathy said to Sean:

"Mr. Knight, ask Miss Joanna to sit for a while here, I need you to come to the Study Room, I have something to report to you."

Sean already knew what Kathy would say but he couldn’t refuse. Joanna said with a smile:

"Sean, go ahead, I’ll just rest in the Bedroom for a while."

Both Sean and Kathy were pleased with Joanna’s understanding.

"Here is the Financial Report for This period of time," Kathy indeed brought out the Financial Report for the period Sean was away, "Although you’ve transferred some assets under various people’s names, both Jason and I know the real owner of these properties."

Sean felt he had indeed chosen the right people and also felt pity for his Uncle, how could such a capable person not have become his aunt?

In finance, Sean glanced through the report, and the expenses were not much.

What surprised him was Jason’s expansion was quite aggressive: from the original three Freight Yards to now nine, with a monthly turnover staggering at over 500 million dollars, and the net Income was also around two hundred million dollars each month!

On the other hand, the Manor’s Income was more stable with some months having higher Income which Kathy had noted, mainly due to the sale of whole cattle, Beef or matured food.

In this period while Sean was not in New York, the Income here reached nearly ten million dollars.

That was the net Income!

Sean closed the report and said to Kathy:

"Take out 1million dollars as a Bonus, you handle the distribution..."

"Mr. Knight, doing this will spoil us," Kathy said seriously. "Both we and Jason are already drawing Salaries far above the Average level, and now to give out Bonuses..."

"The Bonus doesn’t include you and Jason," Sean shook his head.
