The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter 208
“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

Sheila came down dressed in a pink gown. She looked beautiful with the smiles adorning her face. Abraham just looked at her with no expression on her face. He stood up dusting the imaginary dust from his suit.“If you're done, we can leave now,” he said walking away, making Sheila frown.“You know you could have at least complimented me,” she said, glaring at the back of his head. Abraham pretended not to hear her.“Hasten up. We can't afford to be late,” he said, leaving behind and entering the car.“What a man. No romantic bone in his body,”Sheila muttered, entering the car.They reached a place which looked like an underground. Sheila was confused. “Why did he bring me here?” She thought as many thoughts were going through her mind. “Does he want to kill me and throw my body in a place no one would find it?” She thought.“No, I do not want to kill you. Even if I did, I would not spend my money to make you look like this,” he said, looking at her thoroughly and amused. Sheila's eyes

“Come on, love. Let's find you a seat,” Abraham said, smiling, holding Sheila on her waist.“How are you so good at pretending and lying?” Sheila whispered.“I'm excellent and good at what I do and I do not wear my emotions on my sleeves,” Abraham bragged. Sheila rolled her eyes. She noticed she always seemed to be rolling her eyes whenever she was with Abraham.“I don't think I have the patience to sit with these old boring people. I might actually go crazy,” Sheila said.“Don't worry. You'll survive just fine,” Abraham said, guiding Sheila to her seat. Sheila was expecting Abraham to open her seat for her but he just left her and sat on his chair.“What a narcissist man. To think he was playing romantic,” she thought, sitting on her chair. Sheila sat down and watched them talk about boring stuff that didn't interest her. She decided she needed a drink or she was going to go crazy. She was about to stand up when Abraham stopped her.“Where to?” He asked, raising his brows up.“I need

Keith and Camila came back home and Camila was so tired.“I'm really tired, Keith,” she grumbled, sitting on the bed.“Of course you're tired. You've been jumping around since morning. So, it's expected for you to be tired,” Keith said, holding Camila's legs. “I'll give you a foot massage.”“I would love that. Thank you,” Camila said, lying on the bed comfortably while Keith massaged her feet.“That's good Keith. Please keep up with the good work. I didn't know you knew how to do this stuff,” Camila said, enjoying her massage.“Don't come to me next time because I won't be able to do this for you next time,” Keith joked.“I'll surely come next time and you'll not be able to refuse me. Keith chuckled at what Camila had said. He knew she was telling the truth. He was still going to massage her foot if she ever came again. There was no way he was going to refuse her. When he turned back to look at her, she was already sleeping. He chuckled, keeping her leg quietly, then stood up and kept

Camila woke up and found out that Keith wasn't by her side. She touched his side of his bed and found out it was cold which meant he had left long ago. She became confused and got up from the bed.“Keith!” She called but got no answer. She furrowed her eyes checking the bathroom but he wasn't there, so she left the room. “Keith!” She called again and got no answer so she went downstairs and heard some noise in the kitchen, she turned and walked straight to the kitchen and saw Keith standing there wearing an apron. “What are you doing?” She asked, making him jump.“Oh God! Camila, you almost scared me to death,” he said, holding his chest.“Sorry. Good morning. I woke up and didn't see you, so I became worried,” she said, going close to him.“So, you missed me?” Keith asked, wiggling his eyebrows at her.“You wish,” she joked, looking round the kitchen. “So, what are you making?” She asked.“I was supposed to surprise you with breakfast in bed but since you're already here, you'll just

Sheila was going downstairs when she met Abraham's annoying assistant. He was just staring at her. Gosh, she hated this man.“What are you staring at? Could you get lost. Do not spoil my day with your presence,” she said, hitting his shoulder while passing. “Fool,” she muttered as the assistant just turned to watch her with a grin expression. She went downstairs to see Abraham already seated eating his food. She didn't even spare him a glance. She sat far away from him.“Still angry about last night, Sheila love?” Abraham asked, smiling sweetly which made Sheila's stomach twist. She hated it when he smiled like that.“This man is really a sick bastard,” she thought. “You should know last night wasn't my fault. It was all on you. You always get on my nerves. I've always told you that your stubbornness could get you killed but you wouldn't listen. Just be a good girl and make me happy by doing as I say and nothing would happen to you but you think doing your thing your way is better wh

“Tell Abraham that whatever…“How about you tell him yourself,” Sheila said, cutting Camila off.“What?” Camila asked, confused.“Whatever nonsense you would like to say, tell him yourself because I would walk up to Keith if I wanted to tell him something. I'm not your errand girl,” Sheila said.“Don't you ever go anywhere near Keith,” Camila growled.“You don't get to tell me what and what not to do and next time refrain from wasting my precious time,” Sheila said walking away, while Camila folded her fist. “Ha! Take that bitch,” Sheila said, walking around for what to shop. When she was done shopping, she went to the counter, checked in the things she bought and paid for them signaling the guard that came with her to carry them to the car with a smile on her face. “Please be careful with them. I wouldn't want any of them to get spoiled. While you're at it, why don't you excuse me. I'll just use the ladies room and be back in a few seconds,” she said, not waiting for them to say anyt

"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
