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

“But about the information you asked for about the man that attacked that day, I managed to get some new information on him with the help of Christof,” Jacob announced as he realized his boss was unlikely to give a response like he expected.Keith hummed, drumming his fingers on the desk. His brows were drawn together into a frown and his lips pressed into a firm line, “Does that mean you found out who he is already?” he asked in a surprisingly calm voice which was quite contradicting to the look on his face or the fury that was currently in his eyes.“Not quite but we were able to find out more information about the tattoo on his arm,” Jacob replied, quickly and immediately began explaining his discovery. “The tattoo is the identity of a syndicate that is owned by a cooperation of wealthy men and women that needed people to do their dirty works. It was originally owned by a man named Blake but as we investigated further we have come to discover that Blake is just a co-owner of the sy

Keith glanced down at Camila's hand that was currently covered completely by his hand and the corner of his lips tilted upward into a smile and he shook his head. He had been the one that suggested holding hands while they were getting down from the car earlier but Camila had been so against it for some reason, shaking her head in refusal with her cheeks bright red with embarrassment and Keith had no idea why especially since it wasn't the first time both of them had held hands in public. He was beginning to worry about her refusal as they approached the restaurant when suddenly Camila had slipped her hand into his and when he glanced at her to ask about her sudden change of mind he had been welcomed by her daring glare and he had quickly swallowed back his question and continued their journey to the restaurant. The more Keith was watching anime the more he saw a glimpse of their attributes in Camila, for example the way her first response to everything and especially an embarrassing

Camila pouted, her eyes scanning his face. “You aren't bleeding, are you?” He groaned, but didn't take his hands off his nose. “No, I don't think so,” he said into his palm and went back to massaging the aching spot.She heaved a sigh of relief and grabbed his hands, “Thank heavens, let me see.” She doesn't ask for his permission before yanking his hands away from his nose forcefully. “Ouch, careful it hurts,” he scolds with a pout.Camila rolled her eyes and mumbled something resembling the word baby under her breath before going back to paying attention to his face. “You have a tiny bruise on your forehead and let's just hope it doesn't swell because that would be awful.”Keith's eyes widened as he saw her stretch a finger towards his head and quickly move away, “Don't touch it, it hurts.”“It's good to see nothing has changed between you too,” a friendly voice said, snapping both their attention to the direction of the voice.Camila's eyes widened as she spotted Mrs. Genevieve st
The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter 202
Keith was not sure if he should feel delighted or pissed with Mrs. Genevieve's return. Sure he was happy the old woman was back as she was now like a family to him, almost like the mother he never had but aside from that he was feeling totally pissed with the woman because she was refusing to keep her mouth shut and was robbing him of Camila. He knew he should not get jealous of Mrs. Genevieve but he could not help it especially with knowing how the old woman was. She was going to smug all of Camila's time and attention to herself which was both annoying to witness. It was almost like a bruise on his ego always fighting for the attention of his girlfriend with his mother, almost like Camila was dating the two of them. Right now, they were all seated at the restaurant that Mrs. Genevieve had invited them to with Mrs. Genevieve and Camila seated at one end of the table and he was seated at the other end, alone. And then the huge restaurant was empty except for the workers that would pa

Mrs. Genevieve scoffed, unfolding her arms from over her chest, and leaning against the table with a serious expression on her face, “What do you want to talk about? If it is still about that Abraham Connor dude then I'll have you know that I still fucking hate that guy,” she huffed, and proceeded to refolding her arms over her chest.Keith's gaze met with Camila's questioning gaze for a brief second, his brow raised in question and confusion, what could she possibly have on her mind and why did she have a bothered expression on her face? Keith does not have enough time to ponder on what could have caused Camila's mood swing as Mrs. Genevieve snorted, causing Keith to wince and drag his attention back to Mrs. Genevieve before the old woman would accuse her of not paying her enough attention or ignoring her.“What did he do to you this time?” Keith questioned with a bored look although it was quite contradicting to how curious he truly was.Mrs. Genevieve shot him a hard glare which im

“I just realized that neither of us told Mrs. Genevieve about the incident that happened.”Keith opened his mouth to say ‘Really, is that all that got you this worried,’’ but his mouth remained tightly shut and the color in his face drained down. “Oh shit, you didn't tell her too? I thought you would tell her.” Camila shook her head, “At first I thought you would also tell her but then I just thought we should not worry her and then I completely forgot about it,” she explained.“She is so gonna make it a big deal,” Keith groaned, slapping his palm over his face. “We should be more worried about breaking the news to her,” Camila pointed out thoughtfully.“It can't be me, she hates me. And beside she would forgive you for anything,” he said quickly, immediately shifting the responsibility to her.Camila rolled her eyes at his tactics and accompanied it with a scoff, “You know Mrs. Genevieve does not hate you and she is nowhere close to hating you, so you better put up your big boy pa

“Hey, Keith, what's wrong?” Camila's worried voice snapped Keith out his deep thoughts and he took his attention to both women before him watching as they watched him with questions. He opened his mouth to reply but Mrs. Genevieve was much faster than he could have imagined,“What happened to your face? You look like you just witnessed someone take Camila away from you,” Mrs. Genevieve teased and smirked, “You don't have to worry though, I truly have no intention of taking her away from you but if she wants to I would not say no.”Camila chuckled and Keith simply shook his head with an eye roll. Mrs. Genevieve was quite the character. He glanced at Camila and their gaze for a brief second, and he flashed her a grateful smile that communicated ‘nice save' but although that was settled it still does not solve the issue of who would be breaking the news to Mrs. Genevieve. “I can see that you guys weren't as hungry as I thought,” Mrs. Genevieve said, picking up her cup from the table an

"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
