The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter 229
Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months and before you know it the end of the Year businessmen meeting was already drawing near. Everybody was preparing for the upcoming event. Camila was already starting to feel the pregnancy symptoms.“This is really bad, Mrs Genevieve especially the morning sickness,” Camila explained“There is much to be expected, child. But if it's too much, you can always put the burden on Keith. Let him suffer with you,” Mrs Genevieve said, throwing a wink at Camila who laughed.“Seriously, Mrs Genevieve. I can believe you would say that,” Camila laughed as Mrs Genevieve joined her.“What can I say?” Mrs Genevieve chuckled.“Why do you hate Keith? Has he done anything wrong to you?” Camila asked.“No dear. I just love to tease him especially when his ears get red from anger,” Mrs Genevieve laughed more.“So, you love the banter that goes on between you two?” Camila asked, looking at the old woman with amusement.“Well, what can an old beautiful lady like m

“Remember this, I do not do little. Whatever I plan is massive. Something I don't think you will understand.“Don't bullshit me, Abraham. I do not like to be fucked with. If you know you won't say anything to me, keep your mouth still but don't insult me,” Sheila snapped but when she saw the glare Abraham gave to her, she swallowed her spit and looked at the floor briefly. “So, what's this plan you have orchestrated?” She asked, clearing her throat. Abraham smiled mocking knowing he had made her powerless.“It's not something for your little ears to hear. Go do something worth your time and leave me the hell alone,” Abraham declared as Sheila scoffed.“I heard you partnered with a company that distributes maids. High earned servers or whatever they are called,” Sheila said, rolling her eyes at the thought. “But what I don't understand is why you had to partner with them. You are way bigger than them and do not need them, so why take interest in them?” Sheila asked, curiously.“ I'm a

Keith rushed to the hospital and saw Mrs Genevieve waiting by the door. He rushed to her, holding her.“What happened, Mrs Genevieve? How did this happen?” He asked her.“Oh Keith! We were just talking and laughing and then she screamed and before I knew what was happening, she was bleeding,” Mrs Genevieve explained. When Keith heard bleeding, his ears rang. He couldn't seem to understand what anyone was saying all he could hear was she was bleeding. He had read somewhere that if a pregnant woman was bleeding, then it meant she had lost the baby and he didn't want that. “Keith, Keith, the doctor is here,” when Keith heard the doctor was here, he rushed the man“Doctor, how is she? Is she okay? Is the baby okay? Are they both safe?” Keith rushed as the doctor held him down.“Mr Thompson, calm down,” the doctor said.“I can't calm down. Don't you understand?” Keith shouted, his heart beating fast. “Please tell me she's okay and that our baby is fine too,” Keith said as a headache began

“You don't have to worry, sir. She's just sleeping. This would give you more time to process everything so that you will be able to help her when she's awake. One of you needs to be strong to handle the other,” the doctor said as Keith nodded. “I understand, doc,” “Good. Then, I'll take my leave now,” then the doctor left. Keith looked at the sleeping Camila and anger surged throughout his body like waves. He was really angry that he couldn't protect the woman he loved. Abraham was really biting more than he could chew. There and then, Keith made a vow that he was going to destroy Abraham Corner even if it was the last thing he would do. Keith sat down at the edge of the bed looking downcasted as he looked at the love of his life looking sad. He was at fault. He had wronged her. Because of his thirst for power and revenge, he had brought more harm than good to her life. He didn't think he would ever forgive himself for that. He took her hand holding it softly as he waited for her t

The day for the businessmen meeting arrived and every businessman was looking forward to it.“Are you done already?” Mrs Genevieve asked as Keith picked up his car keys.“Yes, I would like to go now,” Keith said, about to leave.“Wait up,” Camila said, coming down the stairs dressed in an exquisite dress. Mrs Genevieve and Keith looked at each other in confusion before turning to Camila.“Camila, what are you doing dressed up like this?” Keith asked.“I'm following you to the party. You did not think I'll let you go alone?” Camila asked, looking from Keith to Mrs Genevieve.“But, you're supposed to be resting. The doctor said you should rest,” Mrs Genevieve said as Keith nodded in agreement.“I am well, Mrs Genevieve. I need to go so that Abraham Corner would not think he's got the best of me. I am strong and I can't portray myself weak,” Camila said, smiling like someone on a secret mission.“Are you sure?” Keith asked, growing wary.“As I'll ever be. So, don't be bothered about me.

“Mrs Joffrey, please contain your dog. We wouldn't want him lashing out,” Sheila said with a smirk.“Oh please, shut up Sheila. You're the one who is supposed to be contained,” Camila lashed back as Sheila just wore a smirk on her face.“You better let go of me, Mr Thompson. I wouldn't want to file a case of assault and you surely know how bad it will be if I decide to finally take action,” Abraham said.“What is it you've done that you haven't done already?” Keith asked.“Oh, many things. So, I hope you don't make me do things we would both regret,” Abraham said, turning his gaze at Camila. “Tell him to let go sis,” Abraham said as a shiver went down Camila's back.“Let go, Keith. We do not want to cause a scene,” Camila whispered to Keith as he took a minute to think before releasing Abraham.“Good boy. You do listen,” Abraham said, dusting his suit as Sheila held him, smiling at the couple.“Attention everyone. We would be announcing the winner of this year's businessmen award,” th

Sheila stormed inside disgusted and a little bit scared about today's event. She was in a hurry to go to her room and stay there. She didn't want to stay near Abraham for even a second. “Why are you in a hurry to get away from me? It's not like I'm a plague or something,” Abraham asked as Sheila laughed. It was a bitter laugh.“Funny how you say it. I'm really sick of all this. Really Abraham, a shoot out and I'm sure your target was Thompson's bitch. Wasn't that too much? Are you trying to scare them or make them run mad?” Sheila asked as Abraham looked at her skeptically. “What?” She asked, eyeing him cautiously.“You've grown quite soft when it comes to Keith Thompson. I thought you used to hate him. I remembered you didn't want him to be somebody and own anything in life,” Abraham asked.“Shit! I need to mind my words when I'm around him or he would be suspicious,” Sheila thought as she scoffed. “I'm not taking his side. I'm just angry that you don't discuss the plan with me anym

Keith came back from the station in a very bad mood. He entered the sitting room, angrily removing his suit jacket as Mrs Genevieve and Camila followed his movement with their eyes. They both looked at each other before turning their gaze to Keith.“Is something wrong? How did it go at the station?” Camila asked, worriedly.“That sly woman said she'll see me in court,” Keith said angrily.“In court? Of course we were going to charge her to court but did she say anything to you other than that?” Mrs Genevieve asked.“Nothing at all. She looked so confident that she would win the case,” Keith said, making Camila more confused.“Okay, I still don't get anything you're saying. Can you please explain from the beginning how it all happened,” Camila said.“Sure,” Keith said, explaining.FLASHBACKKeith entered the police station, escorted by two of his personal guards. He requested an audience to see the maid who killed his baby and he was granted. He was led to an empty room which was meant

"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
