Camila woke up to the sound of her phone ringing.“Babe, turn it off,” Keith said groggily.“Sorry,” Camila said, picking her phone up as she tapped Keith. “You have to go to the office. You don't want to be late,” she said.“Just ten minutes,” he muttered as she smiled, leaving the room. She checked who called her and saw that it was Agnes. She called her back while entering the kitchen. She grabbed a cup, while making coffee for herself. “Hey Agnes. Good morning,” she greeted.“Good morning. I hope I didn't wake you up so early?” Mrs Hockings asked.“Even if you didn't call, my alarm would have done it but you did it earlier, giving me time to clear my head and all that,” Camila said, sipping her coffee.“Are you okay? We heard what happened,” Mrs Hockings said.“We?” Camila asked, unsure if she heard correctly.“Well, my husband and I but he's mostly worried about his daughter although that's not why I called. Are you okay?” She asked again as Camila sighed.“I want to be angry, I

“So, you're telling me that you were caught on camera?” Mrs Genevieve asked, pacing while taking in what Keith and Camila just told her. “Will things ever get better? I'm already getting tired,” she muttered along with a sign.“I must say, you're astounding. I didn't beg you for someone who could snoop around people's things and now you're caught on camera and this camera belongs to none other than Abraham Corner which means you might be convicted and if you're not by this time, then he has a bigger plan for you guys,” Smart said. “Why didn't you guys send Sheila to snoop around. She's quite smart and intelligent for the job,” he added as Camila glared at him.“I find that statement of yours very offensive,” Camila said as Smart shrugged.“I think Smart is right,” Mrs Genevieve said as all three eyes were looking at her but she was looking at Smart, not knowing what was happening. “I mean Sheila is a criminal. So she must already be perfect when committing criminal acts, right?” She a

Keith arrived at the venue where the meeting was to take place. He saw Chris organizing some things.“Is everyone here?” Keith asked as Chris nodded.“Yes sir. They are more than I anticipated,” Chris reported.“The more the investors, the more we get the work done fast,” Keith said, fixing his suit. He wanted everything to go as fast as possible so that Abraham couldn't do any harm. “Okay, why don't you go announce my entry,” Keith said as Chris went back on stage, testing the mic to see if it was okay.“ Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?” He said as the hall became quiet. “Thank you,” he said with a nod. “It is my great pleasure to introduce Keith Thompson, the visionary entrepreneur behind Thompson inc. Please, join me in welcoming him as he shares his innovative ideas and plans for the future. Let's give a warm welcome!” Chris said as Keith stepped forward as they applauded for him. Chris cleared the way for him Keith smiled, taking the mic.“Good morning ev

“So, that would be all for the questions. I hope you all understood everything that was said here because we would be moving to the next step on the agenda,” Keith said as no one said anything. He stepped down as Chris came up. While Chris was addressing the investors, Keith's phone rang. He saw that it was from Camila. He excused himself, leaving the hall to pick her call.“Hi!” Keith said, placing the phone in his ears.“Hey, how is it going? Is everything going smoothly?” Camila asked.“So far it is. They're understanding and it's going well without a hassle. How is your day going? Are you okay?” Keith asked as Camila chuckled. He smiled happy to see she was okay.“Surprisingly, I'm having fun. I'll leave you now. Tell me everything when you come home. Will you be late?” She asked as Keith checked his watch.“I might be. Any problem?” Keith asked.“I wanted to know if I should order or cook something for you but I'll cook but I'm not up to it, I'll order,” Camila said as Keith smil

“We would all like to know how you secured the land for the public park from the government,” she asked as Abraham smiled, looking for the right answer to give as they all looked at him.“Okay, let's see. I would love to say because I'm Abraham Corner and I am capable,” he said as they laughed. “But I think it's because I have a long-standing relationship with various stakeholders in the government and have always been committed to contributing to community development. This opportunity arises as part of a broader initiative to enhance public spaces, and I am honored to have been selected for this project,” he answered as they applauded. Another reporter stood up to ask his question.“What specific features do you plan to include in the park?” He asked.“Our vision for the park includes walking trails, picnic areas, playground, and possibly an amphitheater for community events. We also aim to incorporate sustainable landscaping and educational spaces for workshops about environmental

“As we move forward, I encourage everyone to stay involved in the process. Your feedback will be invaluable, and I look forward to sharing updates as we progress.” He said, taking a moment to breathe, preparing for the closing. “Once again, thank you to the local government, our partners, and all of you for your support. I’m looking forward to seeing all of you at the park once it opens! Have a great day, everyone!” He said with a smile as he waves to the audience as they applaud, then steps back from the podium. The host takes the microphone again to formally close the event.“Thank you, Mr. Corner and thank you all for attending today’s conference. We appreciate your presence and look forward to seeing the exciting developments of the new public park in the near future. Have a wonderful day!” He said as the sound of applause filled the room as attendees began to gather their things, and the cameras flash one last time.Camila checked her watch to see that it was already late.“I rea

“What are the timelines for the bidding process?” A lady asked.“Well, we will start accepting bids immediately after this meeting. The bidding will remain open for seven days, closing next week Friday by 4pm. Once the bidding closes, we will notify the winning bidders within 24 hours,” Chris answered. “I hope you all are okay with this? If you have any disagreement, feel free to speak up,” he said as no one said anything.“Any other questions?” He asked as a woman raised her hand.“Are we going to be allowed to check out the properties?” She asked as Chris turned to Keith who nodded his head. Chris turned to the investors, with a smile on his face.“Yes. You're free to check out the properties you're purchasing and if we're done with the questions, can we start bidding?” He asked as the bidding session startedSheila entered the club, looking around.

Keith came back home to his girlfriend wearing an apron and cleaning the kitchen. She was holding a small towel.“You're back my love?” She asked as Keith sighed. “What's wrong? Did anything happen?’ she asked worried about Keith.“Everything went well till Chris ruined it,” Keith said as Camila chuckled.“What did he do?” Camila asked, smiling.“How about I fire him. He really doesn't know when to stop talking,” Keith said.“Will you tell me what he did?” Camila asked.“Did you watch the news?” Keith asked.“Abraham's interview?” Camila asked as Keith shook his head. “What about it?” She asked.“We were watching it and he called that bastard the people's man and that no one can ever be like that and when I chastised him, he said he was speaking facts. Can you imagine that?” Keith asked as Camila laughed.“You should know how he is. Don't let it bother you,” Camila said as Keith sighed then nodded.“Did you just finish cooking?” He asked as Camila nodded. “What did you make?” Keith as

"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
