The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter 121
Sheila looked out of the window, with a proud smile that graced her lips bright with red lipstick. She looked different than she did after the court case, her face was fuller and bright, almost like she was glowing. She was dressed in glowing colors, with a fluffy shawl around her shoulders along with a purse that looked new. She took her time to admire herself in the pictures she had taken before she left her house, her smile growing with each passing moment. It has been three days since the stupid restaurant incident, the day she stooped low to Keith Thompson's level, the day she lowered her pride and begged the imbecile. But it was different now, that old Sheila was forever gone, left to rot, and yes, it had everything to do with the man of affluence that had spoken to her that day in the men's restroom. Just as Sheila had suspected, the man was wealthy, and not just small scale wealthy, she was talking about a man with a net worth of over seventy five billion dollars net worth, a

Sheila resisted the urge to belch aloud mostly because she was seated beside her new man, Abraham Connor and she had to act a little shy so as not to scare him away with her outrageous acts that should only be shown in the middle of a relationship when they had possibly gotten to know each other more. But that was not even the painful part sincerely, she did not mind putting on an act of good manners because it was something she was normally good at on a normal day_ the real deal was that she had to eat slowly and worst of all not eat to her satisfaction because she did not want to look hungry and desperate for food. No matter how bad her situation was, she was not going to act on it. And that was the reason why she was still feeling hungry despite having already eaten two plates of food.“Are you sure you are satisfied with the food you had? You can have more if you want, Sheila, do not be shy,” Abraham asked, must have obviously noticed Sheila's pointed look at the other food still

Abraham raised a brow at her, not exactly looking too concerned with her change of mood, “What is wrong?” Sheila looked up to meet his gaze, this time pinning him down with her look instead, “How come you agreed?” Abraham's sort of look of concern is now replaced with a confused look, “Agreed to what exactly, Sheila?” “What I said about Thompson,” Sheila pointed out hoping he would get the point she was trying to make immediately but much to her dismay Abraham said, “And how is my agreeing with you saying Thompson should rot in jail a bad thing?” Sheila scrunched her face in annoyance, thinking for a minute that he was playing dumb intentionally. “Nothing really, except you would not have agreed if it isn't because Keith Thompson has done something against you.” “So, what you are implying is that someone would have to do something bad to me before I can agree that he deserved to rot in hell?” Abraham questioned with an emotion on his face that she could not decipher which

She ignored the sarcasm in his voice, “So are you still going to meet him again?”“Not anymore, he has a more fitting partner already.”Camila's brows drew together In question, “I didn't know Abraham Connor needed a partner.”Keith nodded his head in agreement, “I thought he was a one man package and didn't like working with people, at least that was what he told me,” he said with a thoughtful look on his face.Camila frowned, “I guess he could need somebody sometimes, so who is his new partner that managed to be better than you in the eyes of Abraham Connor.”Keith threw his head back and laughed aloud, not minding that the people in the cafeteria were watching. “What?” She asked, confused.“It's the way you call his name, always using his full name and your face squeezes together as if the name is bitter or something,” Keith said between laughter. Camila's cheeks burned bright red, her eyes darting momentarily from the table then back to Keith with a now composed face, her blush

Mrs. Genevieve scoffed, folding her arms over her chest, “That guy. I fucking hate that guy.” Keith's gaze met with Camila's eager gaze for a brief second, his brow raised in question and confusion, and then turned his attention back to Mrs. Genevieve. “What did he do?” Keith questioned.Mrs. Genevieve snorted, causing Keith to wince and as he opened his mouth to speak, probably to comment on her snort, but Mrs. Genevieve shot him a hard glare which immediately got him snapping his mouth shut quickly.“Please tell us, Mrs. Genevieve,” Camila said in an unusually sweet voice, her eyes bright with eagerness and curiosity.He rolled his eyes and released an exasperated sigh. “Could we at least have our seats, please?”Mrs. Genevieve shit him yet another glare causing him to flinch again before she does as he says. He heaved a sigh of relief, ignoring the sound of Camila's giggles as he sat down and Camila followed suit. “Now that we are settled, tell us everything, Mrs. Genevieve,” Ca

Keith stood by the entrance of his house, patiently waiting for Camila to ascend from the stairs. He had left her earlier to dress all while he had gone to make some arrangements for their transportation to the annual auction of the city. Both he and Camila had gotten special invites and although they had been requested in the invite to bring along a plus one, it had not been hard for either Keith or Camila to choose who they would be going with for the special occasion. The sound of clicking sounds caught his attention, causing him to look up. It was the sparkling silver heels that got Keith's first, and his anticipation to see her intensified. Once Camila ascended more steps, Keith's eyes widened a fraction more as he took in the dazzling beauty of his girlfriend. She looked more than stunning in her red dress, which clung to her body with precise perfection, the dress had a split right from the thigh straight down, showing a bit of her creamy thigh and he felt a pang of jealousy a

“Wow! You were not joking when you said you would be going all out,” Camila professed with an astonished look.Keith took Camila's hand to his mouth and placed a peck at the back of her hand, “Of course, I would not want to disappoint my baby and also those awaiting my downfall.”Camila met his gaze with a knowing look but said nothing, taking her gaze back to the Lamborghini packed before her. The white beauty was a gorgeous sight and made her feel so important. It warmed her heart to see someone give her such special treatment as if she were royalty. And it made her damn proud to know she had bagged such a man, to think she almost said no when he asked her out. Now she understood more why that bitch, Sheila was still so hungover and obsessed over Keith. Sheila might be too blinded to realize it or rather too foolish to acknowledge the fact but the reason for her obsession, the reason for her inability to move on from Keith was because she knew what she lost. Sheila only keeps preten

Keith was twirling his wine glass between his fingers, watching the liquid swirl according to the movement. He peeped up from the glass and his gaze met with Camila, who was looking at him with a pleading look that begged for him to save her from her peril. By her peril, he actually meant the group of women she was in a conversation with. It turned out his girlfriend was much more popular than he was, which had nothing to do with himself but everything to do with the fact that she was the only invited female for this year's annual auction. He wiggled a brow at her in mockery, the corner of his lips twitching a little. A group of ladies had come for Camila a while ago and his girlfriend did not seem to be enjoying the conversation as much as the other women were, and although the look on Camila's face made it obvious of her discomfort, the other women did not seem to notice.He sipped from his glass of wine, contemplating if he should save Camila from her torture or just let her be, i

"Abraham Corner, you are hereby sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for the murder of Mrs. Genevieve. You are further sentenced to an additional 25 years for the murder of Adam Kurt and 15 years for the coercion and unlawful imprisonment of your employees. These sentences will run consecutively. May this serve as a reminder that no one is above the law." The courtroom erupted into noise as reporters shouting questions, spectators murmuring in shock, and some even clapping in approval. Keith turned to Camila, who sat in silent disbelief, her eyes welling with tears."It’s over. You’re free." Keith said softly as Camila looked at Evelyn, who stood tall and calm, a small but victorious smile on her face.The judge banged his gavel to restore order."Bailiff, escort the defendant out of the courtroom. Court is adjourned." The judge said as the bailiffs approached Abraham, he turned to Sheila, his face dark and menacing."You think you’ve won? This isn’t over."

"You’ll soon be free." He said as Camila nodded, her lips trembling as she smiled. Tears welled in her eyes, but she quickly brushed them away, determined to stay strong.Sheila walked to the center of the courtroom, holding a remote control for the court’s audiovisual system."Your Honor, with your permission, I would like to present a video to the court. Before I play it, I need to explain how I came into possession of this video." Sheila said to the judge. Mr. Nolan immediately rose to his feet."Objection, Your Honor. This is highly irregular. The prosecution cannot…" The judge held up a hand, cutting him off."Mr. Nolan, sit down. Ms. Hockings, you may proceed." The judge said firmly."Thank you, Your Honor." Sheila said, nodding as She turned to face the courtroom, her voice steady and commanding."This video was obtained during my investigation into Mr. Corner’s workplace. It was anonymously sent to me by an employee who could no longer remain silent. The footage, captured by a

"Overruled. Ms. Warren, proceed." The judge said firmly."Thank you, Mr. Wallace. No further questions." Sheila said, turning back to James. She called two more witnesses, each echoing similar stories of abuse, threats, and control. By the end, the jury looked visibly disturbed, and the courtroom buzzed with tension.Finally, Sheila took a deep breath and held up a document."Your Honor, I refer to Section 12.5 of the state constitution, which condemns any individual who uses power, intimidation, or violence to suppress others. Mr. Corner’s actions, as described by these witnesses, align perfectly with this behavior. This is not just a man who mistreats employees. This is a man capable of anything, including the crimes he’s charged with." She said as the courtroom erupted in whispers."What the actual hell! This man is a beast." Smart said, whispering loudly to Duncan."Focus, Smart. This is just the beginning. Let’s see how his lawyer responds." Duncan said, nodding grimly."Your Hon

"Your Honor, members of the jury, today we will uncover the truth about the heinous deaths of Mrs. Genevieve and Mr. Adam Kurt, the accused’s secretary. The evidence points clearly that Abraham Corner killed both of them . While Mr. Corner has denied any involvement, his actions, motives, and the surrounding circumstances tell a different story." She paused, turning slightly toward Abraham at the defense table. "Let’s begin by calling Mr. Corner to the witness stand.""Mr. Corner, please take the stand." The judge said as Abraham stood, his movements deliberate and unhurried. Dressed immaculately in a tailored suit, he exuded confidence as he made his way to the witness stand. His face was unreadable, a mask of composure.After being sworn in, he sat down, clasping his hands lightly on the armrest."Mr. Corner, let’s start with your relationship with Mrs. Genevieve. Were you friends? Business partners?" Ms Harding asked, approaching him with a calm but piercing intensity."Neither. We

Abraham's lawyer came to see him in prison with threatening news.“No one is on your side. They are all against you,” the lawyer said as Abraham clenched his fists.“Make sure you do everything in your power to get me out of here. I can't be here,” Abraham said as the lawyer nodded.“I'll do everything possible. We have a hearing tomorrow. We'll make sure you win the case,” the lawyer said as Abraham sighed.The next day, Sheila prepared for the initial hearing. She wasn't going to miss it for anything. She was going to follow everything so they don't end up losing. While she was preparing, she suddenly felt nauseous. She ran to the bathroom and threw up.“Are you okay? What's going on?” Duncan asked, going to her but she refused his help.“I'm fine. What are you doing here?” She asked him as he felt bad.“Just wanted to check up on you,” he said.“I'm fine,” she said, walking out.The courtroom is tense as Abraham was brought in.

They searched through drawers, cupboard for over an hour but still didn't get anything while Abraham was attending to his guests. Adam came forward to say something when the atmosphere changed. Abraham wondered what the problem was until he saw Adam. He clenched his jaw, getting angry.“I have something to discuss with you, sir,” he said as Abraham dragged him to a corner “Are you trying to get me angry?” Abraham asked.“Sir, I need to report something to you,” Adam said but Abraham wasn't having any of it.“Get out. Don't show your face till this is over. Don't you have any shame? Seriously, I'm already getting pissed,” Abraham said, walking away.“Guys, you need to get out of there. Abraham is coming your way,” Riley said as Smart ran out immediately. Keith found a secret room. Just as he was about to check it out, Duncan held him in his hand.“We need to leave now. Abraham is coming,” Duncan said as Keith nodded.“Okay. Let's go,” Keith said as they left. When Abraham came inside

“Are you boys ready?” Duncan asked, joining the team as Smart scoffed.“We're not boys. We're grown ass men. One of us has a child while you're still in a complicated relationship because you chose to while I'm just being myself,” Smart pointed out.“He is not in a complicated relationship. He just isn't into any relationship. I heard Sheila broke it off with him. She said she was no longer interested in his back and forth relationship,” Keith said as Smart laughed.“That serves him right,” Smart said as he and Keith fistbumbed.“Guys, I'm right here,” Duncan said, announcing his presence.“You are? We don't see you,” Smart said as Keith laughed while Duncan rolled his eyes.“Whatever. Everything is ready and planned out. We just have to enter his house without being noticed and get right back,” Duncan said as they nodded.“Then let's do this.

New evidence has surfaced, and it challenges everything we thought we knew about this case. Could it be that Camila Joffrey, accused of murder, has been wrongfully implicated? How is it that Mr. Corner’s secretary is now tied to the crime scene? Was this connection overlooked, or deliberately concealed? And what about Mr. Corner himself? Does he truly have no knowledge of this development, or is he feigning ignorance to sway public opinion in his favor? As the investigation continues, we are committed to uncovering the truth behind these mysteries. Stay with us as we dig deeper into this unfolding story. Reporting live, this is Nicki Samson.Keith turned off the television as he leaned on the table, folding his hands.“So, what next?” Smart asked.“We will investigate his office. Vincenzo and I,” Sheila said, resting her back on the chair. She could feel a headache coming and she felt like vomiting.“I want you three to do something for me,” she said as Duncan turned to her.“What is

"Yeah, I saw him leave too. He was driving really fast, and he didn’t seem like he was in a hurry to get anywhere. It was... suspicious." A neighbor said as whispers were heard."The court will now take a recess. We will reconvene at 3 o'clock to continue these proceedings. Please remember that all court rules and decorum remain in effect during this time. Court is adjourned." The judge said as he struck the gavel.The courtroom is tense, the murmur of the spectators subsiding as the defense lawyer Sheila Hockings, rises to her feet, ready to call the next witness. She gestures toward Adam, who was seated at the witness stand. Sheila moves forward, poised and determined, as the jury watches attentively.“Remind me why I love her again,” Duncan said as Smart looked at him.“I don't know. I think you don't know your problem,” Smart said. Duncan pretended like he didn't hear what his brother said."Mr. Daniels, you are aware that you have been linked to the victim, and to the crime scene
