“Then, I'll tell him to back off. If you don't need my help, then it's okay. I'm leaving,” she said, sipping the drink before standing up and leaving but paused and turned to them. “I'll urge you to think about it. You have till tomorrow,” she said as she left.“The nerves of that woman. I don't think I'll ever like her,” Camila said, looking at Keith who wasn't paying attention to her. “What are you thinking about?” She asked, touching him. Keith smiled at her.“Nothing. I was just wondering what you would be eating,” Keith said smiling. Camila knew he was lying but she dropped it, playing along with him.“I know right. I'll check the menu,” she said smiling, while picking the menu. Keith looked at her as he sighed softly. Everything went smoothly as nothing happened to anyone and before you know it, days turned to weeks as the Court's hearing drew near.Nicki Samson stands confidently in front of the courthouse, microphone in hand, with the buzz of the gathered crowd around her. The
Keith entered the courtroom with Camila beside him to see Mrs Genevieve already seated with Mr Kevin and Smart. He gave them a curt nod, going to his seat. Camila slides in, seated next to Mrs Genevieve.“I didn't know you were already here,” she said whispering to Mrs Genevieve who just shrugged.“Just felt I should be here early. Couldn't miss this opportunity to see Mr Vileman losing this case,” Mrs Genevieve said feeling disgusted as she glared at Victor Vileman from where he was seated.“Me too. I can't wait,” Camila said, throwing a smile Mr Kevin's way.“Court arises,” the clerk said as everyone stood up as the judge walked in. “The Court's preceding,” he said as she settled down, they all sat down.“Court is now in session. We will hear the case of Victor Vileman vs. Keith Thompson from Thompson incorporation. Please state your case, Plaintiff,” the judge said as the plaintiff stood up.“Thank you, Your Honor. My client, Victor Vileman entered into an investment agreement wit
“What if it doesn't get better? What if bad things continue to happen?” He asked “Then we just have to find our faith and hold it dearly. Everything is going to turn out good for all of us,” Camila said as Keith nodded. “Come on. Let's leave here. I'll cook up something for you when we get back home,” Camila said, holding Keith's hand as the car came. They entered inside as the driver drove off.Later in the day, Mrs Genevieve came to see Keith and Camila.“How is he?” Mrs Genevieve asked as Camila pouted coffee for her in her cup.“He's fine, just pretty shaken up by everything that's happening. I'm not sure he's going to take it if he loses this case,” Camila said, setting the jug down and sitting down.“Speaking of losing, Gracie was so pissed off by the stubbornness of Victor and his lawyer. She said we have a high chance of winning and that she'll make sure she crushes those fools tomorrow,” Mrs Genevieve said as Camila nodded.“That's good to hear,” Camila said as they were bot
“I would like to call Mr Jeffrey Williams to the stand, who is a satisfied investor in our properties,” Gracie said, calling another investor to the stand as Mr Jeffrey takes the stand.“Please state your name and your relationship to the case.“My name is Jeffery Williams. I invested in properties similar to those involved in this case and have seen significant returns.” Jeffrey said as the judge paid attention to him.“Can you explain the process you went through before investing?” Gracie asked as Jeffrey nodded.“Absolutely. I was given a detailed presentation about the potential risks and rewards. I signed an agreement acknowledging these risks before making my investment,” Jeffrey stated.“How has your experience been with the investments you made?” Gracie further asked“I’ve had a positive experience. My properties have appreciated, and I have received consistent rental income,” Jeffrey answered as Gracie nodded, looking at the judge and the plaintiff before turning her attention
“With that, I’ll leave it there. No questions for today, but you’ll be seeing results soon enough.” He nods respectfully, offering a calm but firm smile to the reporters before turning and walking away. The murmurs of questions follow him, but he strides confidently out of the room. Camila could not have been more proud of Keith. She smiled, following him as they entered the car and drove off.Sheila dressed up to go out when she saw Abraham seated in the sitting room.“Did you watch the news?” He asked her “Yes. He sure has a way of turning things around but I'm sure that you won't let it happen,” Sheila said as Abraham nodded.“Where are you going?” Abraham asked.“I'm going to enjoy myself. I need to take care of myself since you're doing the whole work and Thompson's bitch asked to meet me,” Sheila said, leaving. Abraham took out his phone, dialing a number.“Follow her. Make sure you keep a close eye on her,” he said, disconnecting the call.“Where is he?” Sheila asked, sipping
Later in the evening, Abraham went golfing with other businessmen as all they talked about was keith. It began to piss him off.“I wonder what he's planning on doing,” Frank said, folding his hands while watching Mr Loveday hit the ball.“I guess he has something planned out,” Asher said, looking at Abraham. “What do you think, Corner?” He asked as Abraham shrugged.“I don't know. Let's all see what's going to happen,” Abraham said as Mr Loveday expressed shock.“I'm surprised you didn't predict this. Is the famous Abraham Corner losing its charm?” Mr Loveday asked as Abraham gave him a death glare.“What's that supposed to mean?” Abraham asked as Duncan appeared.“What he means is that you're no longer as good as you used to be. I wonder if you would be able to compete with Keith Thompson,” Duncan said as everywhere became quiet.“I dare you to say that again,” Abraham said with a clenched jaw.“Why? Do you think you can do anything? Should we all be scared of you?” Duncan asked as t

Keith announced, taking a step back, giving a respectful nod to the crowd, signaling that he will not be taking questions as he turns and exits the stage, leaving the room buzzing with anticipation. Immediately Keith concluded his announcement of the Phoenix Residences project and exited the stage, Nicki was positioned nearby, ready to go live with her reaction. She faces the camera, her expression
Sheila sat by the pool side, going through her phone, reading the comments. She was quite amazed and she silently praised herself for a job well done as she turned off her phone, entering inside the house. She walked past Abraham's office as she knocked, standing next to the door. Abraham stood next to the window, not turning to look at her.“Did you watch the news?” She asked him as he nodded. “What do you intend on doing?” Sheila asked as Abraham turned to her. She tried reading him to see if she could find anything but as usual, Abraham was a mystery.“I'll do what I have to do,” he said as he sighed, looking out of the window. “Let's say, the war has begun,” he said as he walked past her, out of the house. Sheila stood properly with a cheeky smile on her face.“The war has begun?” She asked herself, repeating Abraham's words. “Let's see how it goes,” she said to herself, leaving.In an exclusive gathering filled with businessmen, CEOs, investors, they all watched the news about Ke
