The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter 158
Mrs. Hockings sat on the queen size bed, her gaze on the wall and her mouth curved downwards into a pout, the glow in her eyes almost completely gone as she stared unmoving. Mr. Hockings stepped into the room with his face holding its usual frown and his brows shot up when he noticed his wife's position and sad pout. He took in her surroundings, from the packed boxes beside her to her phone placed on her lap between her hands.“And what is with the long face, woman?” Mr. Hockings asked with his face scrunched up into a frown but one could see the concern deep in his eyes.Mrs. Hockings flinched with surprise at the sound of her husband's voice, she took her gaze to him and eyed him cautiously. She had not even noticed when her husband had come in that was how engrossed she had been with her thoughts. “Honey, I thought you were planning to meet with the lawyer,” she said, eyeing him as he approached the bed to sit beside her, the bed dipped with his weight, and scooted a bit to move cl

Keith adjusted himself properly so that Camila was placed very well on his lap and so that he was also comfortable. Camila snuggled closer to him but her attention did not shift from the phone between her hands, as she tapped swiftly against the screen. “Are you comfortable?” Keith questioned when Camila repositioned herself once again.Camila nodded, finally glancing up at her phone. “Yes, but could you not hug me too tight,” she pouted trying to shove his arm away, “I understand that you miss me but if you squeeze the life out of me now then you would have no one to hug.”Keith rolled his eyes, loosening up his hold around her a bit, “I'd just cuddle your lifeless form out of your then.”Camila frowned, peeping up at him. “That's a twisted thing to say, Keith, eew.”Keith scoffed, “Other women would blush if I gave them a response like that instead of saying I would find someone else to cuddle with.”“Well those are the other women and this is me, you should be thankful that I am n

Sheila sat behind the desk, clicking on the keyboard of her laptop, her eyes scanned the screen of her laptop, her entire focus on what she was scrolling through. On the screen of the laptop one could identify the logos of big companies that were involved with the real estate business, she tapped on the mouse scanning the screen with all her attention. The sound of the door opening snapped her attention away from the screen, and hastily she canceled her current search, taking her gaze to whoever had just walked into the office, her shoulders hunched up in a tense way but it immediately loosened up a little when she saw that it was not Abraham that had walked in, it would have been disastrous, especially with the fact that Abraham would be quick to notice her nervousness and sneaky movements and wouldn't stop until he got the information he wanted out of her.She glanced up with a forced smile as she watched Abraham's assistant approach her with an unreadable expression. If there was s

“Sheila,” he called.“Your lackey said you needed to see me,” she blurted out.Abraham turned to face her, studying her up and down, “Go out with me.”Sheila tilted her head back to get a better view of Abraham's face, expecting to see him struggling to hold back his laughter or for him to tell her that he was joking just to get a reaction out of her, but it was quite the contrary Abraham's face was set without any emotion as he studied her face awaiting her response. She raised a brow at him in question, what is with the sudden asking out? It was completely out of context in her opinion and completely unnecessary, or was this a trap to finally lure her in?“What is with the strange look?” Abraham quizzed, eyeing her face with a deep scowl. She snapped out of her thoughts at the sound of his voice and forced a smile onto her face, “Nothing really, just wondering what I had done to deserve such an honor to have the mighty Abraham Connor asking me to go out with him,” she teased moving

Sheila sat in the back seat of Abraham's fancy car with Abraham sitting close to her, and although not too close she could smell his sweet cologne from here. He smelt like something sweet mixed with his natural musky smell which was contrasting his personality in her opinion. A man like Abraham should have nothing to do with smelling sweet, at least that was what Sheila thought. She took her attention off sweet smelling Abraham, looked out the front and heaved a tiny sigh of relief as she studied the man behind the wheel who was not Abraham's assistant. Up until now Sheila still couldn't think of a valid reason why Abraham's assistant had offered to drive them to their destination, even Abraham had been surprised by his assistant's offer while she had just stood watching the interaction with a frown. Meanwhile, her heart had been beating way too fast at that particular moment. She tried to imagine Abraham's assistant in the car too actually being the one driving_ the asshole would mak

“Do not read into it, Abraham, it's nothing. You startled me, and that is the end of the story. Whatever you are thinking, scrap it out because you are only just overthinking things.”Abraham regarded her with a funny look and suddenly the corner of his lips rose a little, “So that is you telling me that I am also overthinking the stares you and my assistant kept giving each other? Because that did not seem like nothing in my opinion.”Sheila sat up and readjusted so she was facing Abraham fully, she tilted her head to the left to get a good view of his face, taking in his rugged yet graceful features. His jaw was clenched tightly together his deep brown eyes regarding her filled with an unreadable glint that she could not exactly place what it could entirely mean. Her eyes dragged from his eyes up to the rest of his hard facial features, from his well trimmed hair, slicked back into a neat style and his lips pursed together into a firm line as he watched her, she noted that it was lo

Sheila was snapped out of her thoughts as she felt a tap on her hand, she grumbled at first choosing to ignore the persistent tap but when it did not stop she had no other choice but to force her eyes open. Her eyes dilated and she squirted her eyes to adjust to the surrounding light, she blinked a few times to regain focus and looked around to study her surroundings and pinpoint where she was exactly. It was not long for her to realize that she was still in the car but then it also quickly registered that the car was no longer moving.“Are you done playing dumb?” A firm voice startled her out of sleep fully, she gasped and raised her head. But to her surprise, she only got more startled from then as she saw that she had not been leaning against the car window like she thought but instead, her head had been resting on Abraham's shoulder all this time. How long has she been asleep? Had Abraham put her head on his shoulder? And if he hadn't been the one to place her head then had she g

As Sheila stepped out of the car, her eyes grew wide as she took in the large building before her. It looked like it was brought out of fairytale land, a place fit for the royalties and important personalities all over the world. Her smile only widened as she caught a glimpse of the red carpet spread across the building, it was splendid. Extravagant. Exquisite. Just the thing she needed to get her mind off all the mishaps of her life. It was a place fit for someone like her, a place for the important like her. Her chest tightened with pride and excitement, the only thing missing was the paparazzi flocking around her desperate for a picture of her and to get an interview with her…Her fantasy thoughts were interrupted as she felt a hand slip into hers, she flinched in surprise looking down at the hand intertwined with hers. She frowned, trailing the arm up to the face of the owner of the arm, her frown only deepened when she saw that it was Abraham. She scrunched her face with a questi

"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.

"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
