The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter 179
Keith suddenly paused the video and zoomed in, “Now look in closely, what do you see?”Camila squinted her eyes and leaned in closer to take a better look at what he was trying to show her. At first all she saw was the hand and the gun and she was about to raise her point, maybe she hadn't been entirely wrong about Keith finding anything new with the video.“Focus on his arm, darling,” he said so close to her ear but she didn't let this distract her this time as she leaned in again to get another look at the arm like he had said.Okay, so she was looking keenly at the arm In question. All she sees is the gun. The arm itself and then a tattoo. She sat up in a jolt and then frowned, a tattoo. She leaned in once again and took a closer look at the ink on the man's hand, had that always been there? How come she has never noticed that? “A tattoo,” she blurted out.“Indeed it is a tattoo,” he repeated after her.She blinked and tore her gaze off the computer screen to look up at Keith in q

She gasped and immediately lunged forward and shoved him back.“Are you crazy? Do you want to hurt yourself?” she yelled at him, glaring at him although his gaze was locked on the ground with his stance tensed. “Keith, things might look bad but i need you to cool the fuck down,” she scolded. “Please,” she added, softly.Keith's head snapped upward and he raised his hand to his face to bury his face into his palm, mumbling things she could not hear since it was all jumbled up against his palms. She heaved a sigh, hating the sight of him like this. He was so distressed and anxious unlike the calm and gentle Keith she was accustomed to and had come to love. She froze, with her eyes wide with horror. There is it again_ a single word with four letters but with so much meaning and implication. It wasn't new to her, she knew there was no need denying it anymore. She loved Keith and she was certain he loved her back _ he had to live her back, shs hoped. But they have spoken about marriage an

Keith looked like he was about to say something but the ringing of a phone snapped both their attention off each other to where the sound was coming from. He snatched up his phone from where it laid on the desk, his hand still holding hers.Keith felt his jaw clenched tightly as he peered down the screen to look at who was calling him and his anger didn't feel better as he saw the name of the cop in charge of the case flashed on the screen, the tones from his phone playing softly into their ears. If it was up to him then he would leave the phone ringing without trying to pick it up or maybe just pick it up and tell the very useless man to go to hell but he glanced down at Camila and immediately canceled both thoughts, she wouldn't be pleased if he did that and the last thing he needed this morning was to push Camila to the edge and get more on her bad side this morning, it would only worsen the case. And like Camila would always tell him about there being no excuse for being a full-ti

“Everything alright?” She mouthed at him.Keith nodded, despite all his attention on what the policeman could possibly want to tell him, but it was easy to detect that from the urgency and fear in his voice there was something important he had to share with her, and that made him get on edge, it could not be possible that things could get any worse from this point. But then again what could be worse than a bounty poster of his girlfriend that is somewhere on the internet while some disgusting men are staring at it and plotting on how to give her the scare of her life, planning to come after her like the sick lunatics they were. The thought of it sent a shudder down his spine, he could picture vividly the way the man at the car incident had held up the gun and aimed it at the car. The man could have shot the car that day and Camila could have gotten into an accident, she could have died. The color drained from his face and his stance stiffened at the thought but before Camila could ope

Mr. Hockings was staring down at his phone with a frown spread across his face, his brows drawn together in concentration and confusion. His eyes darkened as his eyes scanned through the screen of his phone. Mrs. Hockings hurried down the staircase with a large smile, dressed in a long gold dress, her face adorned with makeup and her hair styled to match the outfit she had on, her feet were tucked in a small heel black heel and she was holding out two black bags.She halted her steps when her eyes collided with her husband's figure, sitting with his attention on his phone and it appeared that he had not even noticed her coming into the living room. Her once smiling face scrunched up into a frown as she took in her husband who was still not dressed for the occasion and was dressed instead in casual wear.“Why are you still seated here? This was the exact position I left you in,” she complained, eyeing her husband, “You should be getting ready, I would not want us to be late.”“Oh, shut

“If you are comfortable with the suffering then you might as well stay here and suffer alone, it was all your fault to begin with.” Mrs. Hockings snapped at her husband, her voice thick with emotions and her eyes darkened with anger as she regarded her husband.“My fault?” Mr. Hockings asked, sitting upright.“Yes, if you hadn't gotten Sheila to go for Keith then none of this would have happened,” Mrs. Hockings fired at him.There was a moment of silence as Mr. Hockings took in the sight of his fuming wife and then suddenly he threw his head back and began laughing wildly, “Now you point fingers? Isn't that very hypocritical of you, huh? When I was making the plan to dump Thompson's ass you were right there, were you not? I didn't do it behind your back and I didn't hold your mouth to keep you from objecting and I am a hundred percent sure that day when I asked if you were with me or not, you told me you were with me. Who knows, maybe if you had opposed my idea that day then we would

Mrs. Hockings’ jaw dropped as the car stopped before a house that looked like it was straight out of fairytale land. The house was magnificent _ it would be the third time her mouth had dropped down at the sights before her. The first time was when the white limousine had stopped in front of the house and the man, Kevin who announced himself as Abraham Connor's assigned driver had stepped out to tell them that he would be the one driving them to their destination for the day. She glanced at her husband and heaved a sigh of relief. She was more than relieved that her husband came with her, she was not sure how she would have to deal with the overwhelming feeling of being in such a sophisticated presence after so long of being a social outcast. That day at the court session, one of her friends had witnessed the whole session and even took a video and had gone to show it to all her other friends so when she had approached her friends in the hope of comfort after the entire event that we

Sheila eyed Abraham who was speaking with the chef who had prepared the dishes for tonight's dinner with her family and rolled her eyes. She was totally against her parents meeting Abraham but when Abraham had suggested it to her yesterday night, she did not know how to say no and all she could do was agree to the scary idea. She knew the type of parents she had and she also knew who Abraham Connor was_ the two of them together were screaming disaster and even if it was not going to be as disastrous as she pictured it she knew it would not end well. Sheila knew for starters that Abraham had no reason to want to meet her parents, not especially since they were not even dating for real. She had pondered over and over the reason for the invite and came to the conclusion that Abraham was just doing it to show her what was at stake if she tried anything funny, especially now that she knew the identity of his secret cult. She growled, running her hand over her face in distress. But the war

"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. Dressed sharply, he carries an air of confidence des

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. 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.

"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
