The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter 217
It had been weeks since everywhere was quiet and everyone was doing their own stuff preparing for the end of the year business meeting and Keith and Camila wondered why everywhere was quiet at Sheila and Abraham's side.“Maybe they've decided to live a good life,” Camila said, as Keith gave her the look. “Why are you looking at me like that?”“Really? Really Camila? You really think that?” Keith asked.“No, I don't. I just maybe want to believe that. I mean we really need some peace and quiet in our lives. I don't get why they won't let us be.“You don't have to worry. However they attack, we'll give it to them the same way. I'm not scared of anybody or anyone and I'll always protect you,” Keith promised as Camila nodded.“And I'll also protect you. I won't let them harm you,” Camila said as Keith laughed, making her frown. “Why are you laughing?’ she asked as her hands went akimbo.“Um… nothing in particular,” Keith said, seeing her serious face.“No, come on, tell me. It has to be s

“Dad, come on. This is not the time to leave anybody out. We need to move as one and she didn't blurt out our plan against Thompson,” Sheila reasoned.“I'll tell her. So, who's this your friend who will help us with our plan?” Mr. Hockings asked.“You don't need to bother. I'll tell you when the time is right but first, we have to put our plan to motion immediately and you have to start with telling mum. I need to go downstairs. I can't be here for too long. He might suspect something,” Sheila said, leaving her father grumbling. “Stop doing that and hurry up dad,” she said, going downstairs.“I really hope she knows what she's doing,” Mr. Hockings muttered to himself leaving his office.“Come on, Camila. Be fast. We need to get to the office early. Mrs Genevieve is waiting for us at the office, and I still don't know why she wants to see us,” Keith said, curiously as Camila came out of the dressing room.“Who knows? It might be because of the end of the year business meeting,” Camila

“Mrs Genevieve you're being too dramatic,” Keith said as Camila's eyes went wide. She gave “What?” Mrs Genevieve said, putting her hands at akimbo.“Yes, and you're being biased. I and Camila did this together. I don't see you scolding her.,” Keith said as Camila gasped.“Thanks for throwing me under the bus,” Camila said, rolling her eyes.“Oh please, you just enjoy it when I'm being scolded,” Keith said.“No, I do not. I just don't feel the need to fight Mrs Genevieve,” Camila said.“Because you like it when she scolds me,” Keith argued.“I do not,” Camila countered.“Are you shouting at Camila?” Mrs Genevieve asked as Keith paused.“Well…,” he cleared his throat. “I can never do that. We're just talking,” Keith said, making Camila chuckle. He glared hard at her as she shrugged.“It doesn't seem that way,” Mrs Genevieve said as a knock was heard on the door.“What?” Mrs Genevieve, Keith and Camila said in unison.Chris peeked inside to know if he was safe or if he should retreat.

Keith smiled, also liking the idea of Sheila begging. It would really be pleasing to the eyes.“What do you want Sheila?” He asked.“Abraham,” Sheila answered, making them laugh.“You want Abraham? Do I look like I'm holding him?” Keith asked.“I want you to help me bring Abraham down,” Sheila said, resting on her chair.“Help you bring Abraham down?” Keith asked. “And why do you think I'll help you?” “He's your enemy and I could use the help of another enemy to bring him down. Don't get me wrong, I can do that myself but it would be long and boring. If I can get help from you, then the process would be faster,” Sheila said, checking out her nails.“And I ask you again, why do you think I'll help you?” Keith asked, furrowing his eyes.“Because he's your enemy and you'll need help in defeating him,” Sheila said as Keith laughed. “What's funny?” Sheila asked, confused.“You people amaze me. After all you've done to me, you expect me to help you. Unbelievable. Just as your boyfriend cam

Sheila came out of the building as she hailed a cab. “Shit, I hope Thompson calls me. If he doesn't help me, my plans would not be complete. I need to make sure he agrees with my plan and for that I have to wait for the right time. I just hope it doesn't take too long,” Sheila thought, telling the cab driver to stop a few blocks away from her parents house. She pays him, coming down and wearing a face cap, then she follows from the back and sneaks into the house so the security guard doesn't see her and finds out that she sneaked out. She enters the house and sees her parents still talking to the recorder she recorded with her voice to deceive Abraham. When her parents saw her, she signaled them to meet her in the kitchen.“How did it go? Did the person you went to meet agree to help you?” Mrs Hockings asked as Sheila turned to her father.“So, you finally told her?” She asked as he grumbled.“So, did it work?” Her father asked, changing the topic as Sheila sighed.“No, he didn't but

“Of course, you'll take her side,” Keith said as Camila glared at him and Mrs Genevieve hit him on the back of his head. “Ouch! What was that for?” Keith asked, massaging the back of his head where it hurts.“That's for talking rudely at Camila. You should respect her and not stress her in her condition,” Mrs Genevieve said, moving towards Camila. “Are you hungry dear? Let's get you something to eat.”“Thank you Mrs Genevieve. Unlike some other people who don't care,” Camila said as she stood up and left Keith.“What conniving women,” Keith said, going after them.Sheila went home rethinking her plans. Her mind went to Thompson. She hoped he would put her plan into consideration. If he was expecting her to beg, that would be the last thing she would do. She was Sheila Thompson after all. She was going upstairs when Abraham called her. She turned and saw him coming out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee.“I hope you enjoyed your parents' place?” He asked her. Sheila thought for a seco

“You're so bitter and that's why your mouth is foul,” Sheila retorted.“Well, deal with it,” Abraham retorted as his phone rang. He checked the caller before turning his face to Sheila. “Next tomorrow, the wives and girlfriends of rich businessmen will be gathered. You'll go there and represent me. You better be on your best behavior,” Abraham said.“When I've I ever not been on my best behavior?” Sheila asked, smiling as Abraham clenched his jaws, narrowing his eyes at her.“I don't know what's going on in that little brain of yours but if you think you will embarrass me and tarnish my image, then don't come back and just stay there because the moment you step out of the building, you will be no more,” Abraham threatened scaring the shit out of Sheila.“You really don't need to threaten me. I'm not that stupid to embarrass myself and tarnish my own name,” Sheila said.“You're that stupid to do so and forget to go shopping and do the stuff you're made of. You can't dress less,” Abraha

“Camila? What's going on?” Keith asked as he began to panic. “Sir, we're being followed by an unknown car. It's a bit scary,” the driver said.“What? Camila, are you okay?” Keith asked, trembling.“Everything is okay, Keith. It's just some men in a black car chasing us,” Camila said“Can you see their faces?” Keith asked.“No, I can't and they are making me so angry,” Camila said, her face red with anger.“You need to calm down. Tell the driver to move out,” Keith said.“I'm not doing that Keith. I'm going to confront them. They can't just come and threaten me,” Camila said.“Are you insane Camila? This is not the time to play hero. Think about our baby and leave there,” Keith ordered.“I am thinking about our baby and that's why I'm going to confront them. I'll show them that I'm not scared of them,” Camila said, coming down from the car.“Camila, Camila,” Keith shouted but Camila had already left the car. When the men saw Camila coming out of the car, two guys from the car came d

"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
