“I am here to sympathize with you as a woman who understands her fellow woman,” Mrs Hockings said as Camila scoffed.“Understand? I don't think you'll ever understand a woman's pain seeing as you cause one,” Camila said with spite but Mrs Hockings just overlooked it.“I had lost two children in the past,” Mrs Hockings said as Camila became speechless. She looked at the older woman, not knowing what to say.“Oh! I didn't know,” she said as Mrs Hockings chuckled.“Of course, you wouldn't,” Mrs Hockings said as she breathed out. “I lost my first child before Sheila was born. I miscarried and after Sheila was born, I took in but lost it. She doesn't know. We didn't want her to know and ever since, I've not been able to give birth again,” Mrs Hockings said as Camila felt sad for her.“I'm sorry, Mrs Hockings,” Camila said.“Please call me Agnes. It's been a long time since someone called me by my name,” Mrs Hockings said as Camila nodded, giving her a small smile. “We only had Sheila, so I

“How's Mrs Genevieve?” Camila asked, crossing her legs as Keith chuckled. “What's with the chuckle? I feel like something happened,” Camila said with a smile.“She's good. She went on a date,” Keith answered as Camila looked surprised before bursting into laughter. Keith joined her.“She still goes on dates at her age?” Camila asked, wide-eyed.“And the worst of all is she goes out with younger guys,” Keith said as Camila shook her head.“Isn't she old for all this?” Camila asked, laughing.“I said the same thing and she said life is too short and that she has to enjoy it before it is too late,” Keith said as Camila shook her head.“She'll never change. She and her chavalos ways,” Camila said, shaking her head in amazement.“Did you know she had two sons?” Keith asked, looking at Camila for a reaction.“Two sons? I didn't even know she had a son at all. Did you see any of them?” Camila asked.“I saw one of them. He's a tech guy. He'll be helping us on our revenge on Abraham Corner but

“I heard you asked for me,” Sheila said, standing in front of Abraham. “Today I decided to mind my business and stay out of your way, you couldn't resist the temptation,” Sheila said, rolling her eyes. Abraham stood up, certainly not in the mood for her jokes. Sheila noticed it and became puzzled. “Is everything the matter?” She asked curiously.“What's the relationship between your mother and Camila Joffrey?” Abraham asked as Sheila looked confused for a moment.“I don't think there's such a relationship,” Sheila answered. Abraham chuckled, not liking the answer Sheila gave him. Sheila began to feel scared. She knew whenever Abraham gets like this, it wouldn't be a good end product for her. “What has her mother done now?” She asked herself on alert.“That's not the answer I was hoping for but I'll ask again,” Abraham said, smiling at Sheila. It sent a shiver down her spine. The smile was so menacing. “What relationship does your mom have with Camila Joffrey?” Abraham asked again as S

“Well, I did not ask for any of those. You did that out of your own free will or so I thought but now I know you have an ulterior motive. Who gave you the right to monitor the movements of my parents?” Sheila asked, fuming.“I have every right to monitor their movements because I feed and clothe them. So, if you know what is good for you and those pathetic little families of yours, you'll be careful not to mess with me or I'll destroy all of you with only a click of my finger,” Abraham threatened.“You can say whatever you want to say but if anything happens to my family, you'll see the real me. Do not mess with me,” Sheila said, looking at Abraham menacing.“Do I make myself clear?” Abraham shouted which made Sheila jump. That was when she remembered that it was all in her imagination.She couldn't help but hate herself for not having the guts to speak up.“Don't worry. Patience is the key,” she thought, eyeing Abraham. “Whatever,” Sheila flipped her hair, leaving the room. She would

“Oh God! This isn't happening. How did she find out?” Mrs Hockings thought as she looked at Sheila , then diverted her gaze to her husband.“That's not possible. Your mother can't do that. She knows how much we hate those people. She won't go having fun with the enemy,” Mr Hockings said, vouching for his wife as Sheila chuckled. Mr Hockings frowned, not liking the disrespect. “What's funny?” He asked.“Well father, that's what I said and thought till I saw them with my own two eyes. It looks like mother got too comfortable with the enemy,” Sheila said, looking at her mother with a little bit of hatred. “If you don't believe me, why don't you see for yourself,” then she brought out the photos from her pocket, placing it on the table. She had stolen them from Abraham's office before coming here. Mrs Hockings gasped seeing the photos while Mr Hockings looked shocked and speechless. He looked at his wife and then the photos to be really sure. “Got anything to say?” Sheila asked.“It's not

Keith was really pissed. He was happy that he didn't leave Camila and go to work today. What do they want this time?“Was all this Sheila? Why would you batch into my house in that manner? Don't you people have anything to do other than causing trouble for others?” Keith asked, furious.“Well, I wasn't the one causing trouble this time. Your pretty little girlfriend did,” Sheila said, staring at Camila with spite. Camila scoffed, staring at Sheila.“You sure don't have shame Sheila. Okay then, what have I done now?” Camila asked.“What's your business with my mom? Why did you meet her? What's your plan?” Sheila asked as Keith scoffed.“We should be asking you that. You sent your mom after Camila because you had something off your sleeves,” Keith said as Sheila laughed.“Send my mom after Camila. Is Camila a celebrity or what? I couldn't care less about Camila,” Sheila said, looking at Camila before turning to Keith. “You should know I don't do things that way. I like to do things on m

She has always been smarter but that's not the case for you,” Smart said, going back to his computer. Camila tried to hold her laughter. Keith looked at Mrs Genevieve.“How do you train your kids? They are just sharp-tongued like you,” Keith said as Camila was trying so hard to contain her laughter. Keith noticed it. “Really Camila?” He asked.“Sorry. Couldn't hold it,” she said as Keith rolled his eyes.“He's my son, so he's supposed to be smart like me,” Mrs Genevieve bragged as Smart cleared his throat.“Not to interrupt you, but mom you're not smart. Dad is. You're just witty,” Smart said, facing his computer as Mrs Genevieve glared at her son while Camila and Keith laughed.“You ungrateful piece of shit,” Mrs Genevieve muttered glaring at Keith and Camila shutting them up.“I brought the videos from the CCTV. This is how it happened,” Smart said, handing his phone to Keith.“Send the video to Sheila Hockings,” Keith said, taking the phone. Sheila was walking through the hallway

“Who's she?” Keith asked as Sheila shrugged.“She just works for me,” Sheila said as Keith didn't quite get what she said.“Who works for you and how does she work for you?” Keith asked.“That's for me to know and for you to find out,” Sheila said, smiling sheepishly. Camila didn't like it when Sheila smiled. Sheila actually disgusts her. She's only agreeing to do this because they have one common enemy.“She was disrespectful. Did you ask her to be disrespectful?” Camila asked.“She's just doing her job but I could say the same to you,” Sheila said.“What?” Camila asked. Keith could feel a fight brewing. “That's a topic for another day. Now, let's stick to why we're here,” Keith said as they both stopped throwing daggers with their eyes. “In the future, I'll have to mind not to put these two women in the same room,” Keith thought as they sat down.“So, what's the way forward?” What are we supposed to do? Do you have any ideas?” Sheila asked as Keith scoffed. “What?” She asked with a

"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
