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

“Come in, Sheila,”She froze with her eyes wide open, knowing that nothing good would come if she delayed him and so she forced her feets to move. She pulled the door open and stepped into the room,“I'm giving you just one more chance. You mess it up and I will fucking kill you,” Abraham threatened with his expression dead serious.Sheila stayed rooted to the spot and gulped down nervously. What the hell had she done wrong this time?“Are you listening?” Abraham growled out, making Sheila nod her head repeatedly. “Good,” Abraham said, giving her a small smile. “It isn't so hard being such a good girl.Sheila clenched her fist but yet she didn't let out her emotions so as to not make Abraham angry. She couldn't believe she could be this scared of someone. She missed when she had control over someone. She missed the feeling of fear and terror she inflicted on people and here she was, being scared of this man. She really missed the old Sheila Hockings and her father was right. She had t

Keith really had a long day. It was really stressful plus Mrs Genevieve had to be a pain in the neck. She was just complaining and throwing insults his way, while Camila secretly enjoyed it, pretending to feel bad for him. She was supposed to be by his side but she decided to stand by that old woman's side. He really had a lot going on in his head. “A penny for your thoughts, Thompson,” Camila said, sitting next to Keith. “Of course you would want to know what I'm thinking,” Keith muttered, not looking at Camila. *What's that supposed to mean?” Camila asked with a frown etched in her face. “You know what I mean,” Keith stated. “Are you still mad about the whole Mrs Genevieve incident? Come-on Keith. This isn't a time to be a big baby. You really need to grow up,” Camila said, while Keith scoffed. “Unbelievable. So, me being jealous that my woman wants to spend time with some old lady and not me is me being childish? Keith asked, narrowing his eyes at Camila. “Yes, it is.

“Dear!” Mrs Hockings called quietly, moving close to her husband. He was not even paying attention to her. His eyes were fixated on his phone and he had an angry look on his face. Mrs Hockings gulped down nervously. She knew this was a suicide mission, but she had to try. She wanted to know what happened at Abraham Corner’s house when they went over for dinner. She called Sheila and asked about it but Sheila was displeased with her and asked her to drop it saying her father would be furious if she brought it up. Only her husband could tell her but it seems he's in a very bad mood. All this won't be happening if this father and daughter duo always tells her what was going on. They always leave her in the dark and by the time she's found out about it, it's already too late.“Dear!” She called again.“What is it, woman?” Mr. Hockings shouted, making Mrs Hockings jump out of fear. “Can't someone have peace and quiet in this house?” He grumbled, before looking at his wife. “What do you wan

Keith could not believe he was standing in front of a fashion house. He had so many important and meaningful things he wanted to do and this did not come close to any of them.“Come on. Why are you just standing and staring?” Camila asked, dragging him inside. Camila saw a dress online and wanted the designer to make the dress exactly for her. Keith tried to convince her to buy a dress for the end of the year business meeting but she insisted on this particular dress. Women and their problems and as if it wasn't enough, she forced him into following her and now here they are. At least, she was no longer scared coming out and she was doing it on her own free will without anybody forcing her.“Good afternoon sir, ma. Welcome. How may we be of service to you?” An attendant asked with a smile as Camila reciprocated it, while Keith looked bored. The attendant didn't even spare Keith a glance as she focused on Camila with a smile on her face.“I'm here to see madam Rosan,” Camila said, wit

"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
