The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter Ninety Seven
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
The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter Ninety Nine
“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

The clerk took that as a sign, then rose to his feet, “The case between the Hockings family and Keith Thompson is therefore adjourned.”Keith's eyes met with baldy Gabriel and he gave him a bow too, finally setting aside his jealousy and ego because none of this could have been this effective without his help and legal advice. Gabriel rolled his eyes at him but not before Keith caught a glimpse of the hint of a smile at the corner of his lips. He does not dwell on it, counting it as a win and a call for peace between them. He stepped down from the cubicle then his eyes searched for his girlfriend, well he did not find her on the seat but instead she was smiling broadly as she approached him. Keith did not wait for the moment she would close the distance between them as he rushed over to meet her halfway, scooping her into his arms and a soul crushing hug.Camila giggled, hugging him back. “Congratulations Keith, I am so happy for you. This calls for a celebration,” she spewed out in e

“Daddy,” Sheila mumbled as she approached her father who was also moving to meet her halfway, she glanced over her shoulder to confirm that her mother had indeed followed too as she hoped but then instead caught a glimpse of Keith jubilating with his mouthy stupid girlfriend, she scrunched her face in irritation to the view and was about to take her gaze away but instead her gaze landed on Frank who was still standing at the spot she had left him, the spot he stood to through her family into the mouth of the hungry sharks that lurked in the court. To be sincere she was still completely in shock over what Frank had done, how much of a chicken he ended up being. He was a freaking disappointment and Sheila was going to make sure he paid for it.“You just have a way of attracting the wrong guys, don't you?” Her father snarled as they finally met up halfway. Her eyes widened at the accusation before they narrowed back down to glare at her father, “Now it is my fault? Remember I only got i

Sheila was in awe as she stared at Keith's retreating figure who her father was still currently watching go.Mrs. Hockings frowned in confusion, blinking rapidly and trying to make sure that they were all staring at the same person, “Wait just to be sure we are all staring at each the same person. Does the person happen to be the lanky man wearing the blue shirt or is it Keith? Because they are standing so close to each other and I'm not sure who you guys are staring at, and why would we even be staring at Keith, if it was him anyway,” she rambled on, taking her gaze from her husband to her daughter before giving a disappointed pout when she came to realize that neither of them were paying her any attention or even making the tiniest attempt to give her a reply.Sheila's eyes narrowed on Keith Thompson, the man who had put them all in this mess, and ruined them until they had nothing. Why on earth would her father be considering such a man? Sheila's thoughts were quiet and almost empt

Camila's face brightened with a satisfied beam, she opened her mouth to say something but snapped it shut with a frown as her gaze glided over his shoulder.Keith frowned in confusion at her sudden change of mood, he made a move to turn his head and find out what got his girlfriend back into a sour mood after he had finally succeeded in making her smile, but Camila was faster, grabbing his shirt collar and pulling his face closer to hers, making sure his attention was solely on hers. Keith's confusion only grew as he examined Camila's face for a hint of what could be going on, “What?”Camila scoffed, “Don't look but your ex and her family are all staring in our direction.”Keith's confusion dropped, and he raised a brow at her, “Seriously?” He rolled his eyes and leaned back to turn his head and look back but once again Camila was faster as her hand hit the back of his head. Keith's mouth fell ajar, and his arm raised to his head to massage where he had just gotten the hit. “What was

“Wait!” Keith and Camila paused their movements both their attention moving back to the courthouse still swamped with reporters to find the Hockings family struggling to push through the crowd to reach them. The corner of Keith's lips tilted upward as he looked down at Camila to find her already staring and then she gave him an eye roll_ looking at her more intently and closely he could see the lines of exhaustion that were drawn on her face. He needed to get things over with the Hockings quickly so he could get his baby home so she could get the proper rest she deserved but had deprived herself of. Camila growled, “Well, this has to be interesting,” she mumbled dryly with no emotion on her face. Keith picked up her hand that he had dropped earlier when he thought he was going to put her in the car. He used his left hand to hold her left hand while his right hand slipped around her waist to tug her to himself. Camila did not protest and instead shuts the door to the car and then bu

"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.

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
