"But that is not a reason for the decrease,” Mr. Roger scoffed.“Indeed it doesn't look like it, but,"Mr. Hockings growled impatiently, “Just speak up, what's with all the buts?” The judge sat up in attention with a frown on his face, “I am surprised you have such audacity to talk especially considering you are not in the position to be doing any talking and much less yelling.”Mr. Hockings' jaw clenched, damn he had forgotten he was not completely off the hook yet. Indeed, this useless employee of his had decided not to press charges for what he had done because he was trying to act like a Marty but none of that was his concern, he did not care what could have been the real reason Mark didn't press charges but what was of more importance was that he would be getting scot free, surely his reputation would be greatly affected but there is nothing that could not be handled with just the right amount of time and money. But first, once he got out he was going to make sure he took care o

Mark Thomas stood behind the cubicle, chewing mercilessly on his bottom lip, nervously, picking on his nails. He glanced at Mr. Thompson once again and saw he was in a deep conversation with his girlfriend, Miss. Camila, both oblivious of the judge's stare at them, or maybe they both knew and were just ignoring it. He mumbled a silent prayer to God, praying that this case would end up going in their favor and that he had not said anything wrong to implicate his helper. He had expected the judge to look at Mr. Thompson with an impressed look, concerning what he had just narrated to the court. Sincerely, he thought the judge would react how he and the other wronged workers had reacted when they had of Mr. Thompson's great plan to help them, it was not every rich man that was nice and considerate and not stuck up and selfish, a good example of the latter was his boss_ well ex-boss, since it was obvious he would never be able to go back to work under Mr. Hockings, ever again. He sneaked

Mr. Hockings whose face had gone back to being relaxed before suddenly went back to its panicked form. His fingers clenched into a tight fist, a fist he would so badly like to bury into Keith Thompson's face. This man was proving to be such a thorn in his side. The judge sat up straight with a deep sigh, “Does what you have to talk about have anything to do with what has just been concluded now, Mr. Thompson?”Keith shrugged, pleased to see the frightened look on the face of the Hockings, not even their lawyer was excluded from the fright. He had intentionally let the issue with the illegal getting of properties slide because that was not how he wanted them all to go down, if the Hockings were to go into ruins then it would be because the world would see them for their terrible and disgusting actions, see behind the facade they have built for themselves. They would be crashing down so hard that it would be extremely difficult to ever get back home.The judge took a long and hard star

Camila sat stiffly on her seat with her lips graced with a sad look, this was her first time hearing Keith Thompson story, on a more sincere side she thought she would never be able to hear the side of the story from his side. Of course, she had been very desperate for his side and her insides would itch for her to ask him but she never would complete the attempt to do so, always scared to ruin his mood or that she would cause him another form of pain by making him retell the story she supposed that already did enough to break him when he gave it thoughts, so she would always give up on her attempts to ask afraid that he would also get angry at her and consider her inconsiderate, so she never really asked. But as Keith stood behind the cubicle with his eyes locked with his ex-wife as he retold the story of how she and her family broke his heart and trust, Camila could hear hints of sadness in his voice and his face held some heartbreak although properly hidden behind his facade of a

Keith let out a short smile, “Well it's not my fault that my company subordinates want no involvement with you.” Mr. Hockings paled, “Your company?” Keith scoffed, “Yes, Mr. Hockings, my company. Apparently, there had been some grumbles going on in my company concerning the partnership with your company, so I held a meeting with my board of directors and the majority carried the votes so we had to let you go. But you should not even be this bold to talk, especially with what you did to my subordinate.” Mr. Hockings flinched, recalling what he had done when he found out about getting kicked out. He glanced briefly at the judge and panic rose from the pit of his belly seeing that the judge was paying keen attention to what Keith had to say next. He cleared his throat, gaining the attention of the judge, and then he spoke, “I apologize for what happened with your subordinate, Thompson but I was just irrational due to the anger I felt at that time, but once again I apologize for the

Once everyone in the court was settled back down, the judge immediately rushed out of his seat to meet the bald man halfway, with his head bowed so low that it was clear to everybody that whoever this new figure was, he was going to be a man of high power. The bald man accompanied by the judge was moved to a private section of the court, where he got a better view of the courthouse. “Sir, I apologize for not noticing you sooner or you would have announced you sooner, sir,” the judge said with his head still bowed in reference. The hair at the back of his neck was standing straight in alert and a bead of sweat trailed down his forehead to the side of his face. The bald man nodded as he continued to take in the view of the court.The judge cleared his throat in an attempt to get the man's attention, “Uhh sir, why didn't you tell me about you visiting sir? I would have prepared specially for your coming.”The bald man rolled his eyes, then placed his suitcase on the table before him, s

Camila let out a chuckle the moment she saw the look that graced Sheila's face, she wanted so badly to get up and do a short victory dance before her with a burst of loud evil laughter, like the ones the villain characters in cartoons do. She took her gaze off Sheila and back to Keith, and to her surprise she already found him staring at her with a contented look and a hint of a smirk on his lips, although his face was still hardened. She does not hesitate to flash him a wide grin, wiggling a brow at him. It was true that at first she doubted that Keith could actually finish up the Hockings in just one day but when he had told her about the involvement of the lawyers from the state bar association, she had felt a bit confident but that confidence had been present only yesterday and today she had woken up with a shaken faith and anxious heart, but right this very moment she was feeling fly and untouchable.It would be too much to get up and record the Hockings family's defeated look ri

“Alright, since you all have nothing to say then I guess the case is settled. When you have the complete money then we can discuss business.” Mr. Hockings’ ears rang over and over with his mouth agape. Thompson just said the case is settled, what in the hell was settled about this case? He wanted a chance to say something even though he wasn't sure what exactly he had to say_ sincerely he might have nothing to say. He was yet to process the information very well right now, he was still very much confused, he had no idea who the bald man seated by the corner was, and neither did he know the person Keith had referred to as Mr. Bills but Mr. Hockings only knew they were far more in power than anyone who had been present in the court. He was not even concerned with how Thompson managed to get them all in touch with the state bar association_ alright maybe he was concerned a little bit but his main concern was how Thompson had been able to get the state bar association on his side and got

"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.

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.

"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
