The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter 133
Sheila looked around in awe, taking in the sight of each expensive looking antique and the well laid out arrangement of each of them. She felt beyond worthy to be seeing such exquisite details and objects, now she understood better why it was only the few selected that were able to behold the sight. But that got Sheila thinking about how she had never gotten invited to the annual auction despite her wealth_ well more like her family's wealth but it also belonged to her. It felt like a disgrace now that she thought about it, she had never given any thought to attending the annual auction ever because she did not take it as such an important event but now she has realized that she had been so wrong. She caught sight of Keith with his bitch straight ahead, both admiring something probably stupid and stylishly cheap, neither of them seeming to notice her presence yet. “If you keep staring at them like that, Sheila then the world will know you are interested in boring holes into them,” A

Camila shrugged, “I was like every average kid, Keith.”Keith shook his head almost immediately, but before he could speak a small echoing sound stopped him. “Attention ladies and gentlemen,” a booming voice caused all attention to move towards the tall, bald man dressed in a tuxedo and holding a microphone with a polite smile on his face.Camila got on her tiptoe, leaning closer to whisper to Keith, “Now it's about to get fun. That man was also the host of last year's auction, and his voice is soothing and captivating.”Keith scrunched his face in disapproval, eyeing the tall man. “Since you said that then I do not like the man.”Camila smacked his arm, “Childish.”“The main event is about to begin, please stand still as the chaperones are going to lead you to your seats,” the tall man said.With a clap of the tall man's hands, a group of people entered through the doors all dressed in white shirts and black trousers, all approaching specific guests Keith took it as each chaperone h

Sheila couldn't take her eyes off Keith and his bitch no matter how hard she tried, what was so interesting that got them laughing and excited? It was like their conversation with her had never happened. She felt angry at how happy they seemed, she wished them suffering and pain and nothing more, if only she had a gun and could turn invincible, or maybe she would not have to take any fall then would she shoot both of them dead, but there was so much risk with that so she would have somebody else do the dirty work for her and save her all the stress. She couldn't wait to get back her stability and control then she could focus on getting back at Keith and ruining his life as he did with hers. Finally forcing herself she took her gaze off Keith to look at Abraham who was indulged in whatever he was doing on his tab, his fingers tapping gracefully on the screen. Even if Sheila was angry she had to admit that Abraham was such a graceful man, he carried himself like he had no stress and lik

Bobby got onto the podium and stylishly glanced down in Keith's direction and when he noticed he was standing right in from of the grouchy man he did not hesitate to move his legs and moved further into the podium and further away from Mr. Grouchy. The movement was quite fast and almost unnoticeable_ almost because Sheila Hockings had been watching him so closely and had witnessed the whole ordeal, her brows drew together in curiosity and confusion and she wondered if Keith and thus Bobby guy had a drift or something else but she wondered what could have caused their tensed relationship.Bobby quickly gathered his composure, then fixed his smile back to his face. “Now, we fully begin the year's annual auction,” the crowd erupts in very minimal cheers accompanied by claps, “And once again I am honored to be the one hosting this glorious event once more, and for those that are here for the first time and don't know me, I am Bobby McClain, and tonight I am here to help this night be a me

“Then since there is no question or confusion, I will proceed to introduce this year's auction frontiers.”Sheila straightened up with a proud smile, and her shoulders up high knowing they would be introducing her since she was amongst the frontier all because of the man always beside her that happened to be her date and had given her such an opportunity tonight.Bobby dropped the papers he was holding and then stepped out a little to make a little bow, “First out of this year's edition we have Camila Joffery, who not only happened to be the only female that has been invited this year but also the only female to be invited three times in a roll even though she started as a second tier member, but now she has successfully earned her way into the frontier.” The crowd erupted into applause and Keith would not stop wiggling his brows at Camila as he clapped loudly, while Camila's cheeks were bright red from embarrassment and pride. At the other end, Abraham Connor was watching Camila with

The auction was going smoothly with the announcer presenting each valuable object that had once been covered up on the stage podium. The men struggled to get things they found appealing and captivating to their eyes, as they say, beauty was in the eyes of the beholder. And Keith was referring to the ugly purse that was lying on Camila's lap, his face scrunching up with a disapproving frown. The purse was beyond ugly and repulsing to Keith, with huge stones and such a hideous shade of green. Well, Keith had never really been a fan of green, to begin with, but he had nothing against the color, beauty was In the eyes of the beholder anyway. But as for the purse lying on Camila's lap, Keith had every against it, beginning with the color to the design to everything about the damn purse. What beauty was she seeing in this purse for Christ's sake?Camila growled under her breath, “Keith, could you stop looking at the purse, please? You could bore holes into it at this rate.”Keith gave the p

“Two fifty, two fifty, I've got two-fifty. Do I hear two seventy-five?" Bobby spotted a well-dressed woman in the middle raising her paddle. "Two Seventy-Five, thank you, ma'am. Two Seventy-Five, Two Seventy-Five. Oh, I see Two Eighty, thank you, sir."Sheila zoned out, clenching her fingers into a fist where they sat on her lap. She was beyond pissed, in fact, pissed had to be an understatement of how she truly felt. She was furious, enraged, discombobulated_ she could list a whole lot of other adjectives that describe her mood and that also included embarrassment, well just very slightly though. Why? Well, it has everything to do with the disgusting lovebirds seated at the other end of the frontier seats, as they got all cozy and irritatingly affectionate with each other. She could not take her eyes off them and she was not sure why, it was not like she was jealous, but she could not take her eyes away. The frontier seats where Keith was seated with his bitch were placed right befor

Sheila kept her fake smile on as she brushed past the fancy looking people in the hallway, there was no way she was wiping off this facade amid all the people, even though her stance and clenched fist did not exactly match what the smile on her face was projecting. She could see from her peripheral view as people whispered as she passed by and some went as far as to take pictures, as Sheila wondered if it was for a good reason or because they recognized her as the lady that used to date Keith Thompson and had been taken to court. She yanked the shawl around her shoulders closer to herself as a shudder went down her spine at the thought that it could be the latter part instead, her shoulders visibly relaxing as she looked up to find the restroom door along with the ladies sign on it, confirming she was truly in the right place. She rushed in quickly, shutting the door and the stupid smile immediately eased off her face and replaced it with a vile look. She walked past each of the stal

"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. Costumes check, the guys who would keep watch, check and what again?” Smart asked as Riley came in.“Your ears and eyes, check,” Riley said.“W

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.

"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
