“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.

    “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

    “Look at you being antsy about my phone. Do you have a problem? Were you the one who bought it for me? With the way you're behaving right now, I would start being suspicious of you,” Sheila said, looking away as Abraham glared at her.“Would you answer the damn question?” He asked as she grunt, then looked at the phone “Well, it's cheap, I know that already. There's no need to start rubbing it on my face,” Sheila said, getting on his nerves.“That's not the question I asked you,” Abraham said as she groaned.“Must you know everything?” She asked but when she saw the glare on his face, she sighed. “Well, a bitch smashed my phone on the floor. She thinks she has won but don't worry, I'll get back at her. I was just in one of my weak moments and she just managed to get away with it temporarily but she should just wait for me, I'll get back at her,” Sheila explained as Abraham just looked at her.“And how did you get this phone? I can't remember you leaving this house. I would have known

    Keith was working on some papers when Chris entered inside.“Good morning sir. How was your night?” He asked as Keith looked at him with a glare.“How do you think my night would be?” Keith asked him back as he chuckled nervously.“I didn't know you keep things in mind,” Chris muttered, scratching the back of his head.“Did you say something?” Keith asked with a glare.“No sir. I didn't say anything,” Chris said, smiling sheepishly as Keith went back to his work.“What do you want?” Keith asked.“The bidding process is still ongoing. I must say, the competition is really a progress,” Chris said, showing Keith the sheets.“That's great. You'll be in charge of the project,” Keith ordered as Chris looked at him like he didn't hear what he just said. “Is there a problem?” He asked as Chris shook his head.“I didn't really get you but since I'm the only one in this room with you, could you please repeat what you just said sir?” Chris asked politely as Keith sighed, going back to paper sign

    “I'm in the mood to prepare something today. Would you want anything?” Mr Hockings asked, hoping to get a response from his wife. “Sheila said she's sent a maid to bring the food items and that they are on their way here,” he said but still no response. He looked at her and saw her sitting down with her hands on her jaw. She was so lost in thought. He wondered what had her so invested in. He called her and she still didn't listen and so, he tapped her. She shook, placing her hand on her chest when she saw that it was him.“Oh God, you scared me. Why did you touch me like that? I would have answered if you had called my name,” she said as he rolled his eyes.“Of course you would have. I've been calling your name but you didn't answer. I was even telling you that Sheila has sent the monthly food items and it's on the way and I'm pretty sure you also didn't hear me when I told you that I was in the mood to prepare something but you've ruined the mood and hence, I won't do it again,” Mr H

    “So, what's the gist?” Sheila asked.“I was planning on opening my own bakery and so I was discussing it with your father. I wanted his support so that I can start,” Mrs Hockings informed her mother as Sheila was happy.“I'm really happy for you mother. I totally support you. If you need money to start this great business of yours, I can surely support you,” Sheila said happily as her both parents looked at each other then at her. She didn't miss that. “What's the problem? Did I say anything wrong?” She asked.“Well, you didn't say anything wrong. It's just that the main reason I'm starting this business is because I don't want you giving us anything that has to do with Abraham Corner. We want to be able to earn ours without being insulted by him,” Mrs Hockings said as Sheila sighed, looking at her parents.“I guess you're right. So, how are you planning to get the money to start this business of yours?” Sheila asked as Mrs Hockings smiled nervously. Mr Hockings and his daughter looke

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 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.

    "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.

    "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."

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.

    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.

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.

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?
