Chapter 539: Chapter 366: The Birds Haven’t All Fallen, Yet The Bow is Already Hidden_2

So the matter was settled like that.

Lana Brown hung up the phone and saw Sean Knight finishing peeling the shell of a big lobster. She looked up just in time to meet his gaze, so he politely raised the lobster meat towards her.

Lana smiled and nodded, and Sean put the lobster meat in her bowl.

At that moment, Lana made a decision.

After hanging up the call, she casually placed the satellite phone aside, walked to the table, and asked Sean:

"Mr. Knight, if I’m unemployed here, can you take me in?"

"Take you in?" Sean was a bit surprised, waving his hand, "How can I take you in? I don’t have any jobs here, and I don’t need any assistants or business managers or anything like that. Your Brown family is so big and rich, can’t they find a place for you?"

"I just want to work for you!" Lana half-whined, "Look at your big island, I think Manager Connor Price is right!"

"If you set up a tourism company to cater to domestic tourists coming here, you’ll have an airport with easy access, and imagine how many people will come and how much money you will make every year!"

Sean waved his hand, "I haven’t thought about it yet. It’s quite complicated... too much trouble."

"You can leave it all to me!" Lana smiled and said, "When I first started working for the Brown Family, my job was reception."

Afterwards, I slowly transitioned into a business manager and traveled around the world. As you can tell, my Mandarin is pretty good, my English is okay too, and I also speak Japanese and German... "

Seeing that Lana was quite serious, Sean asked with some curiosity, "Did something happen to your family? Why do you insist on working for me?"

He was, in fact, somewhat wary.

Just considering the Brown name, it was hard for him to trust her fully.

It would be difficult to take in someone with such a past.

Lana sighed and said, "Because of the box of silver you discovered... Those looking to pluck peaches have come to the Brown Family."

"The Brown family... are they really that ruthless? This is your own family!" Sean couldn’t understand.

"Well, in a big family, there are always some close and distant relatives... My father is dead, my mother doesn’t manage family matters, and I have no one to rely on. It’s that simple."

Since she’s already decided to follow Sean, Lana just spoke her mind, "Once the treasures from these sunken ships are salvaged, the Brown family will definitely be able to weather this crisis and rise again."

So, the person who ultimately makes this happen will definitely have a greatly increased voice within the family.

As a woman with no background or protection, how could such a good thing fall to me?"

"So now... or initially...?" Sean still didn’t understand.

"Of course it’s because they didn’t think there was any hope for this matter in the beginning." Lana said sarcastically:

"The Brown family has been searching for treasure for more than a year or two. They’ve probably searched for it at least a dozen times over the past several decades but were never successful. So, they didn’t think there was any hope this time."

Lana pointed at the salvage ship and said, "That ship is here because I spent all my savings and used up some connections and favors. Why else do you think I’m willing to put up with Guye Bruno?"

"And you, Mr. Knight, I found you by offering a share of the treasure... Of course, hiring you was the best decision I’ve ever made."

Suddenly, Lana had a change of heart.

What was the point of sticking around in such a family that still clings to male chauvinism in this day and age? Good riddance!

It would be better to just follow Sean!

At least Sean is generous to his subordinates and not so demanding.

It must be better than being in the Brown family!

Sean nodded to show he understood.

Of course, he never intended to hand the treasure over to the Brown family in the first place. Hearing that they weren’t playing fair, he had even less reason to care about their feelings.

"Since you want to leave the Brown family, why did you choose me?" Sean was curious. "With your abilities and... don’t be offended, your appearance, finding a job should be very easy for you!"

"Because your island is big enough, and I can tell right away that you’re not that enthusiastic about this matter. So if I take charge of the tourism here, there will be enough room for me to grow!"

Lana knew she wouldn’t impress Sean without being sincere:

"I’m tired of being restricted by my family in everything I do, so I want a bigger platform and more freedom to develop!"

"This answer is not bad." Sean nodded, seeing that Lana was honest and sincere.

But of course, he wouldn’t make a decision just based on these few words.

After all, this was also a big deal.

"I’ll think about it." Sean Knight ended the topic.

Although a little disappointed, Sean did not refuse on the spot, so Lana Brown still felt hopeful.

Then, Lana’s satellite phone rang again.

Lana glanced at the number and did not answer.

Sean looked at her and noticed her expression was not very good, so he changed the subject:

"Actually, you can apply for a domestic number. There’s a signal tower on this island, so you can use it."

The phone stopped ringing after a few rings.

But within a minute, the phone rang again.

"Someone you hate?" Sean asked with interest.

"Leroy Brown. The one who’s planning to pick the peaches." Lana’s tone was a bit down, "The call just now was from the tribe leader. He probably heard the news and is now coming to mock me."

"That man has no prospects." Sean shook his head, "He should be happy to see you taking over smoothly. Now he seems like a villain who’s found success. He’s not afraid that you’ll give him a hard time when you hand over the affairs to him..."

Lana’s eyes lit up, but then she shook her head:

"I just want to finish the handover quickly and get the tribe leader’s promise. Then I’ll be free and won’t have to do anything for the Brown family. That would be enough for me. The Brown family... is very troublesome."

Although Sean was a bit curious, he didn’t ask after all.

The two could at best be considered having progressed from business partners to ordinary friends, and it’s not good to pry too deeply into each other’s affairs.

The phone kept ringing, and Lana simply cut off its power.

Indeed, it’s not wise to offend a woman!

"You’ll have to see him in a few days anyway." Sean reminded her.

"When we meet, with you and Guye present, even if he lacks manners, he won’t say anything excessive at that time. He will still want face."

Lana looked a little smug at this moment, which made her look quite cute.

Poor girl.

This seafood meal brought the relationship between the two people a lot closer.

On the second day, there was still no movement on the salvage ship’s side. Lana was still on the yacht. Now she has not only been making seafood but also started cooking.

This made Sean a little embarrassed, so he simply went down to the sea.

He could sense the position where the radar had scanned was right where he had found the box, so Sean simply went in another direction.

His original intention was to find some other seafood and change the taste.

After all, eating shrimps and crabs all the time was not very good.

Opening the Sky Eye, searching around, Sean found another item.

It was a gold-gilded Buddha statue that was stuck in a coral reef.

About half a meter tall, it should have been glittering with gold, but now it had been eroded by seawater and wrapped in minerals secreted by marine life, becoming a part of the coral reef.

If it weren’t for Sean’s Sky Eye, this thing would be really hard to spot!

Sean pried the item out, held it, and then plucked a few tender leaves from underwater plants. He then surfaced.

"Did you find something again?" Elijah Hastings, who was on the deck, looked excited, "Boss, is this gold?"

"It’s gold gilding," Sean waved his hand, "It’s not pure gold. Come, give me a hand!"

When Elijah heard it was gold gilding, he looked somewhat deflated. However, he quickly took the Buddha statue, placed it aside, and then pulled Sean up.

At this time, Lana, who had heard Sean’s voice inside, came out and saw the Buddha statue. She exclaimed with excitement:

"You found it again? That’s great... Mr. Knight, you’re amazing!"

After all, the salvage ship had been working for so long and hadn’t scanned anything. Sean went down twice, and both times he had gains. This luck was really unparalleled.

If this wasn’t amazing, what was?

Lana felt her days of freedom were getting closer and closer!

She used to think that being in charge of a department in the Brown family might be better, but now she thinks otherwise!

There isn’t a single woman in the Brown family who can ultimately rule a place!

Mama’s not doing it anymore!
