The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 2036

While Frank noticed the tiny USB stick in the envelope, the old woman tugged on his sleeve firmly and cried, "Sir, please… Can you see what happened to Blackie? What…"

Frank remained silent for a while before saying quietly, "I'm sorry, ma'm. Blackie is dead."

"What?!"

The ol women was left thunderstruck as her shoulder slumped, her jaw hanging open but no words coming out.

"He was killed in action by some rogues, and…"

Frank glanced at Blackie's body on the bed and breathed a long sigh as he reached out and closed his eyes.

"Who was it?! Who killed my Blackie?!"

The old woman howled in grief. "He's so kind to a fault. I always told him to listen to Tidus, but he had to fight with him, and now someone's taken advantage of him! Oh, Blackie…"

Seeing her anguish, Frank knew that words were pointless—nothing was more painful for a parent than having to bury their own child.

Working hard to hold back his own emotions, he explained, "I'm also Tidus' boss, ma'am. I will arrange a funeral for Blackie and compensate you accordingly."

And with a quiet sigh, he left the shack.

He was not particularly surprised that Blackie had killed himself out of guilt—he knew that much about the kid.

He was never that confident, and someone must have beguiled him into killing Tidus and Lizzie.

People were capable of their worst when driven by greed.
