Chapter 148
I smiled. Charles and Martin were prepared to kick me out of the Black family.
With the marriage contract in place, I would be Dexter’s legal guardian. Only I have the authority to send him to an asylum among his relatives.
If I was no longer around, Dexter’s guardianship would fall into the hands of Ignatius. Martin would then be able to deal with Dexter as he pleased.
"Who said I wasn’t aware of it? I’m determined to marry Dexter. I am his wife and his only legal guardian. Is there a problem?" I said as I got up and looked at both Charles and Martin.
"This villa of Dexter’s is rented, Mr. Martin. No one knows that we live here, but I was almost killed at home a while back. Our address has been leaked, and today you came directly to our door.
"Don’t tell me..." I looked at Dexter before continuing, "The one who wanted to kill me was actually you?"
The power struggle of the Blacks had now garnered widespread sectors. It has become a hot topic online.
If Martin wanted to whitewash his image to take over the Black Group, he would have to play the kind- hearted persona in front of the public. As such, he couldn’t let anything happen to both Dexter and I.
But he could certainly sow discord between us.
Martin said, "It’s all thanks to the police that we could find you here, Sofia. As an elder of the Black family, I also have the rights to keep both of you safe."
He smiled before continuing, "You’re a smart woman, Sofia. It would work to your benefit if you leave the Black family. We will give you anything you want and deserve.
