“I’m going to be a great grandfather?” Eldrich Cho gasped. “I never thought I would live long enough to see any of my great grandchildren.” He said laughing heartily. “Grandpa, don’t say that.” Stephen said, frowning at the old man.“I’m only stating a fact, Stephen.” Eldrich Cho scolded. “My great grandfather never met me. The members of the Cho family don’t normally live that long.”“We will do whatever it takes to get you to see our children grow up grandpa.” Vanessa swore.“Thank you Vanessa.” Eldrich Cho said as he gave her a loving smile. “But we need to discuss more serious matters now. Like what do you plan on doing about Paolo Ong?”Stephen and Hans both nodded in agreement, the priority of the discussion for now should be Paolo and his future.“The first thing we need to do is to change his family name from Ong to Cho.” Stephen announced.“It shouldn’t be too difficult.” Vanessa said as she considered her husband’s connections. “The only person that can possibly oppose the

Hans kept glancing at Stephen nervously as he sat at the head of the table. His eyes also wandered to the familiar man that Stephen had introduced as his good friend John.John was in deep conversation with Andrew, Stephen’s other right hand man. Unlike most people, Hans knew that those two men were some of the most influential and powerful people.One was Stephen’s right hand man in the underworld while the other was Stephen’s right hand man in Cho industries. Both men wielded considerable influence despite not coming from powerful backgrounds. “Relax.” Hans heard Amalia tease him. Stephen had him sit higher up on the table, a symbol of how much trust he placed in his cousin and a symbol of their mended relationship. Hans was well aware of how events like tonight were used by heads of the family, such as Stephen and his grandfather Eldrich, to send a message.Tonight Hans knew that the message was. The Cho family was strong, the Cho family was united, and the Cho family’s futu

Hans was surprised that his relatives were able to stay silent about Paolo’s existence. He had expected that at least one of his relatives would have gossiped the information to a friend.But it seemed that their fear of Stephen was even stronger, as no one had said a word and there were no signs of the news breaking out. Hans was currently at Philip Tower where his cousin had provided him with a temporary office. It was from here that he was coordinating with his managers and assistants back at home.He had been working hard in the day and at night he would come home and spend some time with Paolo before bed.Hana was a constant fixture, always watching over his interactions with his own son. Aside from Hana, Stephen had also introduced him to another young woman who kept him company when he interacted with his son. Her name was Alona Ty, a cousin of Stephen’s wife.Stephen said that Alona had her own story to tell and that Hans might be able to find it out on his own if she trust

When Stephen heard the news about what had happened, he quickly left his office and ordered both John and Andrew to utilize all of their resources to figure out what had happened.He was glad that he had sent the extra security detail to watch over Paolo. When Hans had told him that he wanted to take Paolo to the mall, Stephen had a bad feeling that something could happen.He knew that Stephen had no ill intentions towards his own son, Stpehen just had one of those bad feelings. Unfortunately, he was right. The press that Robert should have had under control had somehow managed to find out that Stephen’s so called illegitimate son was shopping with members of the Cho and Ong family.Stephen was out for blood.From what they had managed to quickly gather, someone had released information about the trip. “Alona seemed worried about something.” Vanessa told him over the phone as they spoke while on the phone while Stephen was being driven back home. “She wouldn’t tell me, I think she

“Are you alright?” Alona said as she joined Hans on the home bar, He was drinking away his pains and worries. “I will be.” Hans said as he finished the contents of his glass.“But obviously you’re not.” Alona said as she dragged Hans off of his chair.“Where are we going?” Hans asked as they walked out the door of the mansion. “Did my cousin ask you to take me away?” He questioned.“No, I’m doing this because you are the victim here that everyone seems to have forgotten.” Alona told him as a driver tossed her the keys to the car that was waiting on the driveway.“The victim that everyone has forgotten?” Hans asked as Alona forced him to get into the passenger’s seat. By the time he realized that Alona was the one driving, it was too late. “Wait, what? You’re driving?!” Hans shouted as Alona stepped on the gas and drove them away from Cho mansion.“Relax, I’ve been driving for years.” Alona told him. “Don’t be so sexist, just because I’m a woman doesn’t mean I can’t drive well.” H
