“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

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.

    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

    “Hmm,” Camila said, lost in her thoughts for a bit before smiling. “Let me make you breakfast,” she said, standing up as Keith looked at her.“You're starting to show,” he said as she nodded.“But I'm doing a better job at hiding it. I just hope Abraham Corner doesn't get to find out about it,” Camila said as Keith walked over to her, holding her on her shoulders.“I'll be here to protect you if that happens,” Keith said as Camila nodded, smiling joyfully.“I'm really lucky,” she said as Keith shook his head softly.“I'm the one who is lucky,” he said as Camila scoffed.“Of course. What would you do without me?” Camila asked as Keith laughed. “Let me go make you breakfast,” she said as Keith nodded and then she left. Keith sighed, entering the bathroom.Keith got to the office to see Mrs Genevieve already seated, waiting for him.“You're here early,” he said, unbuttoning his wrist as he hung his suit jacket at the back of his chair. He looked at how Mrs Genevieve smiled and joined her

    Keith, Camila and Mrs Genevieve arrived at Tisha's diner, looking around for Sheila but they couldn't find her.“I don't see that woman anywhere. I hope she hasn't misled us,” Mrs Genevieve said, looking around as a waitress came around.“Are you looking for my boss?” She asked as Camila looked at Keith and Mrs Genevieve before turning to her.“And who is your boss?” Camila asked.“Keith Thompson!” The waitress called.“That would be me,” Keith answered as the waitress nodded.“Follow me,” she said as they all followed her as she took them to a room. “You can go inside. She's waiting for you,” she said, leaving them inside.“I seriously do not understand what is going on here,” Camila said as Keith opened the door and they all went inside.“Welcome!” Sheila said, sipping red wine, while Camila looked suspicious. Keith turned to see Max standing next to the window.“What's going on here?” Keith asked as Sheila smiled.“Why don't you all sit down, let's get straight to why we're here,”

    “No need to panic,” she said, opening a door that wasn't there before. Everyone just looked at her. “Just hurry up and leave already,” she said, already stressed out.Abraham walked along the hallway with long strides. He was so quick in wanting to catch Sheila in whatever she was doing. He has been suspecting her for a very long time. He walked past a waitress as he called her back.“Sheila Hockings, where is she? She told me she would be here since the food here is actually delicious. Is she here?” He asked as the waitress nodded.“You've come to the right place. She booked a room here just for herself,” the waitress said as Abraham became suspicious.“Was it only for her? Is there anyone with her?” He asked as the waitress nodded. Abraham smiled. “Could you please take me to see her?” He asked as she did as she was asked. Abraham opened the door without alerting her and was shocked to see her alone with Max who was standing so far from her.“What are you doing here?” Sheila asked,

    “Duncan,” that was the only thing Keith said as Smart sighed. He didn't look angry anymore which confused Keith. “Didn't you look angry before?” He asked.“I was but I found out it was Duncan. I'm even surprised he came by. It was hard for her to get a hold of him. What did he do this time?” Smart asked.“You wouldn't believe it,” Camila said, helping Mrs Genevieve sit on the chair after calming her down.“Then tell me,” he said.“Your brother, which I'm still finding it hard to believe, is actually the one who has been supporting Sheila Hockings,” Camila said as Smart didn't look surprised at all. “Oh!” He exclaimed.“Oh? Is that the only thing you have to say?” Camila asked. “And why don't you look surprised?” She asked.“I am surprised he is dating Sheila Hockings but I've always known Duncan would marry someone who isn't afraid to stand up to my mum,” Smart said as Mrs Genevieve glared at him.“I will never let him marry that witch. It's going to be over my dead body,” Mrs Genevi

    “How did you two meet?” Camila asked as Duncan smiled.“It's funny,” he said as he sighed.“You really love her, don't you?’ she asked as he nodded. Camila sighed hopefully. “There was no need to separate them. It would become a fruitless journey,” she thought as Keith appeared.“Get up. We're leaving,” Keith said, angrily.“What happened?” Camila asked, standing up.“I'll explain on the way,” Keith said as Duncan stood up, placing both hands in his pocket.Keith and Abraham stepped aside into a quieter corner. Abraham smirks, leaning in close, his voice low but laced with venom."Well, well. The comeback kid himself. I have to admit, I’m impressed by your resilience. But I’ll say it plainly, you’re making a mistake trying to rebuild. You should’ve stayed down when you had the chance." Abraham said as Keith smirked slightly."Funny, I didn’t think I needed anyone’s permission to keep moving forward. Certainly not yours. If this is why you called me over, then I must say you just waste

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." 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

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. 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.

    “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.
