The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 2052

Miles kept refusing, and it took Frank and Whitney considerable effort to persuade him into renting out his land for thirty grand per year.

It was spare change for Frank but something the old man dearly needed.

"I won't lie to you, kiddo, I'm all out of money. I'd probably die hungry if not for your money… You've really saved me! Please allow me to show my gratitude!"

He was ready to kneel, but Frank reacted quickly and caught him. "It's alright, sir! You don't have to pray to me—don't worry, no one will bully you as long as I'm around."

However, tears were welling up in the old man's eyes, and he was chanting a prayer—all the good deeds he had done over his life were finally being repaid!

After leaving Miles' shack, Whitney asked, "You don't have a place to stay, do you? You can stay at my place if you don't mind."

"What's there to mind? Also, I'll pay the utility bills!"

"No, it's fine!" Whitey promptly waved him off. "You've done Miles a huge favor, and I should thank you as the village chief."

Frank ignored her and said, "How about ten grand per month? No, make it twenty to include utilities."

Whitney was left shocked.

Twenty grand per month? Frank could even afford her mansion at this rate—city folks were really generous!

Still, she nodded and smiled, since she could not refuse.

She cooked a storm for Frank that night and opened a couple of bottles of fine wine.

Pouring Frank a full glass, she exclaimed, "Sorry for troubling you with that mess, kiddo. Cheers!"

"Cheers. I'm also counting on your help from now on." Frank nodded, clinking glasses with her before chugging his glass.

However, he did not forget why he had come either and asked, "I'd also like to ask… Have you seen any strange folks in your village recently?"
