“Wow, Mr. Thompson you sure are buying so many properties,” one of the workers in the Thompson properties incorporated said as he tagged alongside Keith. The worker also happened to be the newest recruit to the company and was on his way to resume as the new assistant manager of Keith. He looked young, around his early twenties and Keith could see some similarities between the guy and Mr. Kevin, for starters they were always running mouths, but what would one expect from the uncle and his cousin? Keith did not actually take in Mr. Kevin's cousin because of their relationship but because he had truly been impressed with the records the small man had presented, and for a man this young he had already achieved what others could take years to achieve. He also needed to be around more young minds for more refreshing and renovating ideas, that was the reason behind the plan of recruiting. And on the outside business prospect, Keith just happened to take an instant liking to the young man.
The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter Seventy Six
“Thompson, that bastard.”Sheila raised her head at the sound of Frank's voice, she watched the door patiently until he pushed the door to their room open and slammed it harshly shut as he stepped into the room. She took in his large figure with a raised brow, his hair was messy like it had gotten fingers run through thousands of times. He had gotten rid of the suit jacket and tie, even the buttons on his shirt had been left undone, and it was not long before she noticed he had also gotten rid of his belt. Sheila scoffed, it seemed to be that Frank got impatient and undressed on his way up, which she found funny. His shoulders were slumped in defeat and his body was tense, his nose was flared and his eyes were filled with anger. “What got you this riled up? What did Thompson do this time?” She questioned curiously, dropping her phone to turn to Frank and give her full attention to him. Frank scoffed, “He bought yet another of my property.”Although the news was not pleasing to Sheil

Sheila frowned then repeated, “Sue Thompson? How is that in any way going to help the situation?” She questioned curiously.Frank resisted the urge to slap his palm over his face, for someone as smart as Sheila, she asked stupid questions sometimes, questions that should never be near her mouth ever but it was quite the opposite for Sheila as she tended to drop stupid remarks from time to time.He eyed her for a minute wondering if he should give her some moments so she could redeem herself by figuring it out herself but he decided against it, “Well of course it is going to help us in every way, Sheila darling,” he said with a mocking smirk.Sheila scrunched his face, realizing what he was up to. “This is the part you open your mouth to use and try to make yourself useful with it but instead you use it to prove what a fool you are,” she snapped, narrowing her gaze on him, daring him to speak and challenge her.Frank stood his ground, his gaze hard and unwavering. If he wanted to, he w

“Initially at first, it was but in the long run I thought why not, it's an opportunity so why not use it.”Camila waited until he was finished speaking before she began to disentangle her body from Keith to sit upright, ignoring his grumbles of disagreement, she dropped her glass of wine and Keith immediately followed suit, but she hardly paid him any attention and turned her body around to face him. Her cheeks were still slightly flushed from his comment from earlier about giving whatever she wanted, including the number one spot she had always been longing for. It was about time she moved from number two and God did she deserved it, so of course she would not want anyone else taking the spot from her anytime soon now that she had claimed it, not even her handsome and talented boyfriend.“Well I understand, I would not let such an opportunity pass either. But I got a little confused though, If you are patronizing the family you hate, how is that you getting revenge? I get that you ar
The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter Seventy Nine
Sheila moved from where she was sitting idly on the bed, Frank had long ago exited the room to attend to some important business, leaving her all alone with her thoughts and the unbearable silence of the room. Sincerely, she was beginning to think she was going insane as she assumed she could hear the swirling thoughts in her head, but that could not ever be possible and it was just her dying of boredom and being locked in for so long. It has been a week since Keith Thompson exposed her in public, and ruined her in public. She could no longer go anywhere with her head up high anymore, everybody was talking about her even brats_ everybody judging and crucifying her but the annoying part was the people lurking around to watch her. It was certain there would be some reporters around the house at the moment waiting around to get a chance to talk to her and be honored with having the first exclusive interview with her, but why would she even bother talking to any of them? Who would it hel

Keith stayed completely still in front of the large mirror in his room, playing with the button on the sleeve of his shirt. His mind was far away and wandering, he exhaled softly. He believed it was time, time that he finished off the Hockings, the more he is prolonging the revenge plans and matter the more he continues to expose himself and the people he has newly founded and has begun to care about so deeply into the way of harm. He was a changed person, Keith knew. He would look at himself in the mirror sometimes and compare himself now with Keith Thompson of that time. Aside from the physical differences, like the fuller and longer hair, brighter features, and a less worried stance_ character wise, he has gone through a lot of changes. The hurt and betrayal he got from the one family he loved once upon a time had pushed him into this change. Before Keith was softer and more forgiving, he would have never wanted retaliation or any of this prolonged revenge shit, before Keith would
The Emergence of the Legacy Man Chapter Eighty One
Keith adjusted his suit jacket as he waited in front of his car parked in the court parking lot. He was waiting for Camila, normally they had been meant to come together but he had to come alone since she had a business emergency to deal with. It was today. The day Keith had not known he had been desperately hoping and longing for. Finally, there would be no more reason to keep stalling and awaiting the perfect moment, today was the day, the court session. The day he was going to deal with the loose ends and end it all, so there would be no reason to be involved in anyone's revenge play and he could finally focus on the future he wanted and dreamt for himself without harboring any hard feelings whatsoever. It was finally the day and Keith was desperate for it to be over already so he could get on with his life already.He glanced around and sighed when he spotted the place where his bodyguards were cooped up trying to hold back the overwhelming press that were trying to get to him and

“I didn't want you handling it by yourself, that was why I was rushing.”Keith's eyes widened as he took in the sight of Camila's flushed self before him, not only were both cheeks red but also her entire face was bright red as she mercilessly chewed on her bottom lip and avoided his gaze. He was beyond astonished, today happened to be the first time Camila was openly saying something so sweet to him. Yes, she was a sweet person when one got closer to her, but it was an extremely rare sight to witness Camila utter something sweet or cringe. She was not a person closed off about emotions she was just naturally shy about the exhibition of emotions which was like an extra chore for her, a chore she avoided at all costs. Now Keith understood why she had not wanted to respond to him.His eyes did not stray from hers as his lips stretched into a very broad smile that stretched up to both his ears, grinning happily like a Cheshire cat. “Awnn, Camila, I am deeply touched.”Camila did not rais

"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. Costumes check, the guys who would keep watch, check and what again?” Smart asked as Riley came in.“Your ears and eyes, check,” Riley said.“W

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
