Chapter 145
"Dexter, your grandfather has passed away. You need to oversee the funeral, Martin said in a deep voice as he stepped out of the car.
I watched him warily because I was aware that his visit was about more than just about a funeral.
"Your grandfather’s body in still in the morque, and we need a direct relative to sign for the cremation. You can’t let him rest unattended, can you?" Martin put on a compassionate look, as if he was just a concerned elder.
Frowning. I glanced at the cars following him and realized the presence of the media.
Ignatius death was a big deal in the business world, and many media reporters were watching. Even if Martin was putting on a show, he needed to make it convincing.
I stepped in front of Dexter and whispered, "Dexter, don’t be scared."
With the media around, Dexter was safe for now.
After all, they wouldn’t dare harm him under the spotlight.
Martin’s eyes, unseen by others, were sharp. I knew he was furious about his failed attempt to kill Dexter a few days ago. Now, with the media swarming in, it’d be difficult for him to make a second attempt.
Dexter stood behind me. His gaze signaled the person holding Yasmin to release her.
The person complied and stood with a cold demeanor behind Dexter.
