The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter 147
Camila's brows raised as she glanced in Abraham's direction, she caught a glimpse of interest in his eyes but instantly felt revolted, and decided she didn't want to engage him, “A hundred and fifty.”…The after-party was in full swing, with champagne flowing and deals being made. The winners were congratulated, and the losers were already planning their next move. Abraham Connor stood at the far end of the private bar drowning his glass of wine with a sour look on his face. He could not believe he let his guard down and let himself get humiliated, all because of some woman who had such a striking resemblance with his mother. Although not physically but personality they were almost alike. The part when Camila had pulled the thumbs up stunt, he could remember clearly his mother doing something so similar to that except hers was not a thumbs up, and instead, her mother had been holding up a fuck you finger. He then let himself get distracted and controlled by his sentiments which had

Frank sat in front of the television watching Sheila's movements intently. He could not believe it, he scoffed. While he had been struggling to save his ass from a crazy bitch after his life and meanwhile this crazy ass bitch was attending her party looking like the most proper person in the world. Frank's gaze moved to the person standing beside Sheila and shook his head, he felt bad for the poor man he did not know what he was getting himself involved with. That woman standing beside him was going to land him in trouble and ruin his life.He could remember the first time he met Sheila, he had thought her to be the most respectful and well mannered girl in the entire room. Her carriage had been very different from any other woman that was in that. He had not even approached her immediately and just stayed in the corner watching her watch other people_ back then Frank had thought it was because she had been new to the society and was simply shy and scouting for potential friends. But

“I'm certain you did more than just ladies’ business there. You talk, I talk, fair game.” Abraham said, watching her carefully.Sheila sat still almost holding her breath as she tried to match up Abraham's look but she ended up being the one to look away first, no surprise there actually. She snorted, eyeing him. Abraham does not seem like someone who knew anything about fair games or anything related to it, and she wondered if she should trust him. But then that would be playing into his game. “Well, what do you say, my dear?” Abraham said politely but Sheila caught a hint of impatience behind his attempt for a sweet voice. Sheila sighed with resignation, there was no need holding back anymore, was there? She was already sucked into this and the only choice she had now was to keep on trusting the one thing they had in common which was their brewing hatred for Keith Thompson.“Fine, I ran into some woman's trouble in the restroom, but I would not have done that if not because they p

Keith's attention was moved from the file in front of him when he heard a loud squeak. He relaxed a little when he realized that he recognized the voice.“Keith,” Camila squeaked, rushing into Keith's office with a wide smile and an excited look which took Keith's attention off his work completely.“Camila,” he greeted, eyeing her suspiciously. “Please don't tell me you have not gone to the bank yet.”Camila's smile weaned a bit and her eyes widened a fraction more. “Oh shit, I forgot that.”Keith scowled then shook his head with a deep sigh.“Do not shake your head at me and don't you dare sigh too, I already tried throughout yesterday. I need a vacation,” she whined as she slumped onto a seat. “Are you hearing yourself? This is finally the climax of the business we want and now you want a vacation?” Keith said, shaking his head with disappointment.Camila eyed him and there was a moment of silence before she opened her mouth to speak again, “So does that mean I'm not going to be gr

“Are you going to start talking already? You are keeping me waiting, you know.”Keith heaved a sigh, there was really no escaping this.Camila pinned Keith down with narrowed eyes. There has been something bothering Keith for a while now, and she has tried the easy to try to get out of him but he was so insistent on keeping whatever was bothering him to himself, which has been getting her pissed for a long time now but she could not bit down on her tongue much longer and so she lashed out. The time she began angry about his silence was the day of the auction, and while everyone was supposed to be celebrating their victory that had been what she had been expecting from Keith too, he did make the best impression and made the most sales, even got so much recognition afterwards. At first, Keith had been acting right like he was supposed to but then halfway through the party his mood had suddenly changed and it was obvious that he had something that was weighing his mind down during the ev

Camila shook her head, laughing at herself. Keith immediately joined in on her laughter, scanning her face with an incredulous expression.“Seriously, Camila. It would have taken more than a jewelry set to get me bankrupt, you can be rest assured,” Keith said between his laughter.Camila scoffed, “I do not care about your money, I have more than enough to take care of both of us until we are both old and wrinkled.”Keith caressed the back of her hand with his thumb, a smile spreading over his face. “Old and wrinkled huh?” He wiggled his brows mockingly at her although his eyes shone with content. “I believe I have an idea what your dreams of me involve.”Camila blinked, “And what is that?” “Marriage obviously, first you discussed honeymoon and now you mentioned old and wrinkled, I'm sure your dream is filled with wedding bells and white gowns,” Keith said, taking her hand to his mouth so he could kiss it. Camila raised a brow at him and looked nothing like someone who was going to m

Camila frowned as she stared down at get now blackened phone screen, her brows knitted together in confusion and unsure of what to think of the situation on the ground. At first, she had thought it was a mistake but now it was certain that someone was trying to scare her. This had stated the day she was allegedly been angry with Keith which happened to be yesterday, but then someone_ an anonymous, unregistered number has been calling her at random times and sometimes even at auspicious times, like this time for instance. It was barely six in the morning and it had been the call that had interrupted her deep slumber. The annoying part was that the idiot would call and although using different numbers just for her to pick up give radio silence at the other end until she got frustrated and hung up. But that does not stop this idiot from calling again. Today was the most unbearable, she had finally been able to get some sleep after her whole argument with Keith all thanks to their resolvi

"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
