The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter 191
If there was one thing Sheila would miss when she finally left Abraham, it would be the highly standardized chef who was capable of cooking mouthwatering food that she could hands down describe as the best food she has tasted in forever. It was nothing compared to what the chef her family had used to cook and they had been described as the best in the industry at that time, apparently, it was a lie. The dinner was not going as bad as she imagined, well at least her father and Abraham had not gotten into any physical fights yet so she could call this a good sign for them. Nothing was going on at the table except for small talk, Abraham was fully focused on whatever her mother had to say and ignored the rest at the table_ although Sheila knew this was a chance to initiate some kind of talk with her father, she just could not bring herself to. The moment she opened her mouth to say something to him she would get all tongue tied and then she was back to square one, mindlessly picking at

“So, Mr. Hockings, how is business going with the lawyers?” Abraham asked.“Fine,” Mr Hockings grunted out with a shrug.Abraham raised a brow at him, “Oh really, but my lawyers are telling me something entirely different.”“And what could that be, Connor?” Mr. Hockings countered, narrowing his gaze on Abraham.“You know, my lawyers will only be able to help you if you allow them to,” Abraham stated casually.Mr. Hockings tilted his head to the right to look at Abraham properly, “I never knew you were this interested in my involvement with the lawyers, Connor. I don't know if I should feel honored to know this fact.”Abraham chuckled, “I will not try to stop you if feeling honored is how you think you should feel but I will not impose any feelings on you, Mr. Hockings. And of course, I think I should be concerned with your attempt to get back what has been confiscated from your family, aside from the fact that it happens to be my lawyers you are making use of it also is of great impor

“Just because we have been reduced to this you think you can joggle us around anyhow,” Mr Hockings spat out with spite, pushing up to his feet, the sound of the chair legs scraping the ground made Sheila flinch.“I wouldn't have to joggle you if you weren't anything but a piece of shit, Hockings,” Abraham mocked, making no attempt to get up from his seat but Sheila noticed that he does not look as relaxed and cocky as he usually does.To Sheila's surprise, her father does not lash back in response to what Abraham had just called him and instead he threw his head back and barked out laughter. His laugh echoed through the entire room.“You should not be so confident, Connor, because in case you fail to admit it you are going through the same destructive path as I am and soon you will be played just like we were,” Mr. Hockings said icily, his eyes narrowed into slits and a strange smile spreading over his lips.“You think I would be the one to scramble to Thompson,” Abraham said in awe,

Mrs. Hockings nodded and with one last smile she twirled around preparing to leave with her husband but was stopped when her daughter called out,“Mother, wait, I will go with you,” Sheila said hurriedly, pushing to her feet with a forced smile and without even sparing a glance in Abraham's direction she rushed over to her mother and led her out. The moment the dining room door closed behind Sheila and her mother and they were both in a safe distance away from the door, Mrs. Hockings immediately began firing questions,“What happened? I thought dinner would not be ending until after the desert, that was what Abraham said, what changed? Why is your father angry? Did something happen, okay something definitely happened but is your father okay? Did Abraham say something wrong to him, Is that why he is angry?” Mrs. Hockings suddenly gasped as an idea dropped into her head, “Hopefully your father did not say anything to annoy the host, did he? Did he pick a fight with you? Did_,”Sheila g

Sheila was grumbling things under her breath as she stormed past the open door and down the long hallway where she had just passed through with her parents not quite long ago. Her parents had finally left, not long after her father had whispered in her ear that she should take down Abraham Connor no matter what. At least her father and her were back to having something that joined them back together. She pushed the door to the dining room open and stormed in, not surprised to still find Abraham there but she was surprised to find him seated in his seat eating peacefully like he did not just humiliate her family.“Oh, you are back,” Abraham said, his voice booming through the entire room. He took his gaze away from his food and looked up at her with a sly grin, his eyes glittering with mischief.Sheila watched him for some second, trying to find any sign of the anger she had seen in his eyes while he was speaking with her father moments ago but there was nothing but pure mischief in h

“But you should know me by now, Sheila. I would not do anything to anyone except they are totally deserving of it.”Sheila folded her arms over her chest and huffed in annoyance trying to understand the point he was making, “And what did my parents ever do to you?”Abraham shrugged, “Well for starters, your father was the definition of a rude man that needed to be reminded of his place, did you see how he walked into my abode with his head up high like he owned the place,” he scoffed, a flash of the earlier anger in his brown eyes.Of all the things Sheila had been expecting him to say, that was the last thing she had expected him to say. She just could not bring herself to believe herself to believe that the reason Abraham had lost his temper and his cool was just because of how her father had walked in. A part of Sheila knew that her father's walking step had nothing to do with what happened today.“But_,” she began to speak going with the first thought that dropped on her mind, to

1Keith stood by the entrance of the room watching Camila hum loudly an unfamiliar tune and moving around to gather the papers she had lingering around the corners of the house, barely noticing him. He folded his arms over his chest and smiled at the love of his life, yes it felt right calling her that but it was still unfair to Camila that he has not said anything about it to her concerning his feelings for her and he was beginning to think Camila would get tired of waiting for him to let out his feelings one day and dump his sorry ass_ but knowing his girlfriend, he was certain Camila would do nothing close to dumping his ass and the worst she could do was to confess her feelings to him before he got an opportunity to and for a particular reason he was keen on not letting her beat him to a confession. “What an interesting tune you are humming.” He said after some moments of leaning against the door frame watching her like a creep. Surprising, Camila doesn't flinch at the tone of h
The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter 198
The day went by faster than Keith could imagine and it was one of the days he treasured and strived for as he was looking for many more opportunities to spend as much time as he could with Camila without having to worry about all the external worries. Although today was spent lazing around with Camila, he counted it as a blessing, because it helped him relax and for once forget about all his worries. He glanced down at sleeping Camila nested in his eyes and smiled. Her lips were pushed out into a cute pout and she kept on mumbling words he could not quite pick out under her breath but from what he picked out and the way she kept on sighing deeply in her sleep he could tell that her sleep was quite peaceful and worry free, something he wished and longed for these past few days but it had proven quite difficult for him. His sleep these days has been quite short and most of the time close to nothing, most times he was forced to jolt out of his sleep from bad dreams that would have him h

"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. 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
