Sheila Hockings was really something else. Only if his elder brother saw her now, then he would have loved her. He had always wanted a woman who wasn't scared of his mother and Sheila fits that criteria perfectly,” Smart said, lost in thought as he sighed.“You okay?” Camila asked him as he nodded.“Hey, I heard he was your younger son. What about the eldest son?” Sheila asked, noticing the quick reaction Mrs Genevieve did before masking it. “Oh, touchy subject. I get it. He must have probably left you. I mean, that's what I would have done naturally if I was your child,” Sheila said as Mrs Genevieve glared at her hard. “What? Have you seen yourself? You're a pest. You're the kind of mother who wants everyone to adhere to your choices and do everything you want. Who knows, the only reason Smart stayed was because he pitied you nothing else. You better work on yourself,” Sheila said.“Look who's talking? How about you work on yourself before talking to me,” Mrs Genevieve said. She was

“That's really a fresh start. Congrats on winning the bet. But what bet did you actually win?” Smart asked.“Don't tell me you played a bet on me to lose?” Keith asked, placing his hands on his waist.“That's right. You weren't expecting me to bet on you as the winner and lose all that money, no?” Sheila asked as Keith frowned.“Yikes,” Smart exclaimed as Camila glared at him.“I was expecting you to at least have some faith in me since we're partners who are going after the same thing,” Keith said.“Well, tough luck partner but you lost. I go where the money goes. Why don't you try that faith next time when you're ready to see me as a partner but for now, adios amigos,” she did that salute thing and left.“This girl is impossible. I can't really put up with her. She irks me so much,” Mrs Genevieve said, feeling irritated.“I second that opinion there. I really hate everything about her,” Camila said, agreeing with Mrs Genevieve while Smart chuckled.“What's funny?” Mrs Genevieve aske

“Found her,” Sheila rejoiced, giving the file to Keith.“Lily Donovan,” Keith called, flipping through the file before shutting it and looking at Smart. “Pull up every CCTV camera taken with Lily Donovan in the office,” Keith ordered.“On it,” Smart said, cracking his fingers before getting to work. “Got it,” Smart said, impressing Sheila.“So fast? That's impressive. I like you Smart. How about marrying me so that I can be your mother's favorite daughter-in-law,” Sheila as she and Smart looked at Mrs Genevieve.“I'll have to stop you there. Don't ever dream of being my daughter-in-law. It will never happen. Not in this life and over my dead body,” Mrs Genevieve snapped as Sheila chuckled.“Tsk, tsk, tsk. So much hate. Be careful what you wish for Genevieve or you might actually die,” Sheila said, picking her bag. “See you guys when I see you,” and then she left.“The nerves of this girl,” Mrs Genevieve exclaimed as Camila chuckled.“Take it easy,” Camila said, patting her back.“Don'

Sheila stopped by her parents' place. She knew her parents would be worried. She stopped at the gate as she sighed, looking at the house. She sighed again before going inside. She entered the house and found everything quiet. She wondered where they all went. Normally, her father is either planted in his favorite sit watching the news or reading the newspaper while her mother is always everywhere and trying to get her father's attention. This was the first time the house was so quiet while everyone was home. It was usually noisy. She walked up the stairs trying to get to her father's sturdy room to check if her father was there when she heard music and laughter coming from the kitchen. She paused, confused at what they were before coming down the stairs to go check it out. She entered the kitchen, standing by the door. What she saw got her surprised and amused. Her parents were both cooking and dancing to the music playing in the background while her father whispered sweet nothings in

“Don't you think mum's beginning to grow balls lately?” Sheila asked her father.“Now that you've mentioned it, in beginning to see it,” Mr Hockings said, agreeing with his daughter.“Shut up you two,” Mrs Hockings said as Sheila laughed. Her mum wore her an apron. “You can help with doing something,” she added.“What can I help you with?” Sheila asked, looking around.“Just don't cut or cook anything. You can just wash the vegetables. That's if you can do that as well. We don't want to get poisoned,” Mr Hockings said as Mrs Hockings laughed fist bumping her husband.“Ha ha. Funny dad,” Sheila said as her parents both laughed. “Laugh all you want. It's nice to see you two are having fun at my expenses,” she said as they laughed harder. She had no choice than to join them. It was fun and refreshing.Sheila arrived a little bit late. She had to dress up at her parents house. Her mum helped to do her makeup. She was grateful when her mom ordered everyone not to talk about Abraham or any

“Where is Corner? I haven't seen him for a while now,” Mr Loveday asked, looking around for Abraham after hours of them chatting with Sheila.“Missing me so soon?” Abraham asked, joining the men as they laughed.“Where did you go, Corner? Your girlfriend has duped us of our money. You weren't even there to save us,” another man who Sheila found out his name was Frank Benedict cried out. He was jovial and funny but Sheila knew they were all putting up a front. The real demons were hiding within them.“Come on Frank. There's no way I can certainly finish all your money. I hear you're very wealthy and famous within the ladies too,” Sheila said, nodding towards a group of ladies who were all vying for Frank's attention. The men all laughed.“That's actually not my kind of scene. I tend to stay clear of all women. I find them to be troublesome and chaotic,” Frank said, shaking his head.“I can see you all are enjoying the company of my girlfriend,” Abraham said, looking at Sheila who paid

“Oh! You're still awake? I thought you would be asleep,” Mrs Hockings said softly.“Well, you called me at the right time,” Camila said, closing the door quietly as she walked through the hallway arriving at the stairs. “I couldn't sleep and there's nothing to do. I was becoming bored out of my mind. Thanks for calling,” Camila said, arriving at the kitchen.“Sheila told us everything that was going on. Are you okay?” Mrs Hockings asked as Camila looked surprised.“Sheila told you everything?” She asked as Mrs Hockings paused for a while.“Yes, she did. Is that a problem?” Mrs Hockings asked quietly.“No, it isn't. I'm just surprised she told you all knowing who she is,” Camila said as Mrs Hockings chuckled.Yeah! I think it's because of what happened before. She says she doesn't want me to spoil her plans in the future. So I have to be careful,” Mrs Hockings explained.“I'm sorry I placed you in a difficult situation,” Camila apologized sincerely.“It's not your fault. Remember, I wa

“Ahh, that's the lady we were all waiting for,” Mr Loveday said as Sheila smiled, joining the men.“I heard you all were already leaving. I hope you all had a wonderful time?” Sheila asked as they laughed.“They most certainly did. Don't bother yourself about it,” Abraham said. Sheila noticed Duncan kept staring at her so she whispered to Abraham.“Why does that man you hate so much keep staring at me?” She asked as Abraham clenched his jaws.“Don't pay attention to him. Ignore him,” Abraham said as they watched everyone leave. Sheila left for her room. When she was on the last stairs, Abraham called her.“What are you going to do with the money you got?” He asked as she turned to him from up.“What has that got to do with you? It's my money, so I'll use it as I please. Don't bother asking about it. I hope you aren't sad that I won't be needing you to send me or my family money anymore?” Sheila asked as she smiled seeing the reaction she got from Abraham. “Don't worry. You can still s

"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
