Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Baby News
“What will you do to him?” Hans said as he eyed his cousin carefully. “I know men like you, you need something to hold over me so you can control me.”“Hans!” Amalia scolded her cousin. “It’s fine Amalia, it’s only normal for Hans to doubt me.” Stephen said with a nod as he handed the still sobbing Pao Pao to Hana.“Still, he should know that you aren’t like that.” Amalia argued as she crossed her hands on her chest and glared at her cousin. “I love you, Hans, I love you almost as much as I love my brother, but this is too much.”“It’s comforting to know that I still stand a step below the great Stephen Cho.” Hans said mockingly as he kept his gaze trained on Stephen. He was wary of his cousin, he had been since he was tricked into sleeping with a woman he couldn’t even remember.“I have no intentions of using Paolo against you.” Stephen told Hans quite honestly. “Even if I did, I know that Paolo is nothing to you.”“He is still my flesh and blood.”“Flesh and blood that you would s
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Great Grandpa Cho
With everything settled, the atmosphere in the room was much lighter. The news also made Claudette run off in order to organize a celebratory dinner. She was inviting all of the Cho and Sy relatives as well as some of Stephen’s and Vanessa’s friends that they said could be trusted with the news.Stephen, however, had requested that he and Vanessa break the news to Eldrich Cho first before his mother told everyone why there was a celebration that night. So all Claudette could do was inform the members of the Cho family that there was an announcement and that they were welcoming Hans home.Many would assume that it was going to be an announcement on Paolo’s parentage, so they would all show up.If Paolo was Stephen’s biological son, it made him the heir to the Cho family, legitimate or not. “Stay.” Stephen said as he drummed his fingers on his office table as he waited for a maid to set up the camera for a video call with his grandfather.“Are you sure?” Hans asked.He was the only o
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir An Old Enemy Stirs
“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
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir The Lu and Cho Families
The Lu and Cho families had been enemies for generations.They had controlled Marina City being the richest and most influential families in the city and the nearby regions.While other rich and powerful families intermarried and eventually consolidated their influence and wealth, the Lu and Cho families avoided one another like the plague. At a young age all members of these families were taught the history of the rivalry between the two families.There were also large books in each family home that had a detailed list of living members of both the Lu and Cho families. Stephen reached up and touched the spine of the one belonging to the Cho family. He knew that his grandfather’s assistants updated the book regularly, taking note of marriages, births, and deaths. “I find it odd that they approached you.” Stephen said as he brought down the book and turned its pages. “You aren’t that distant that their books would forget you are related to me.”“Are you doubting me?” Hans asked. S
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Family Meeting Part 1
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
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Family Meeting Part 2
“Settle down!” Stephen announced as everyone around the table stopped their conversations and turned their attention to Stephen.“Now that you know the truth about him, I’d like to introduce you all to Paolo Cho.” Stephen had already asked for the adoption papers to be processed and Hans had already signed off. Paolo was his and Vanessa’s adopted son now and no one could question that fact.Hans picked Paolo up from his seat and carried the little boy.Now that everyone knew that Paolo was Hans’ son they could clearly see that the father and son duo did indeed look alike.They had the same eyes, the same hair, and even the same body type. Paolo smiled at Hans then looked around the room.Hans whispered something into Paolo’s ear, Paolo nodded and waved at everyone and gave them a sweet smile.“Paolo might be Hans’ biological son, but Hans and I have spoken and he isn’t ready to be a father.” Stephen told the members of the Cho family. “The reason why Paolo’s family name is Cho and n
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Just Ask
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
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Problems At The Mall
“This is a bad idea.” Hana hissed as they entered another toy store. Hans was carefully taking note of everything that Paolo picked out, making sure. That he knew exactly what his son liked and didn’t like.He had informed his parents the night before that he had a son and both took the news quite well.They were surprisingly calm and happy about the news. Of course they were disappointed that Paolo’s mother was not Hans’ wife, but they were at least happy that Stephen had not forced their son to marry Paolo’s mother. “The press don’t know how Paolo looks.” Hans reminded Hana. “It’s you that they know.” Hana glared at Hans as he insinuated that if anyone was going to be the cause of Paolo’s identity being revealed to the press, it would be Hana. “I would never do anything to harm Paolo.” Hana said as she argued with Hans.“And yet you are here.” He said coldly as glared at Hana. Things were usually much more difficult with Hana around. He needed to be nice to her when she was co

Alliances
“The Lu family is working with the underworld?” Hans asked as he glanced at his cousin in disbelief. Over the years the Underworld was one part of Marina City that both families had failed to control. If the Lu family managed to pull into their fold the leaders of the Underworld and Stephen was not the head of the Essen Mafia, they would have easily crushed the Cho family.“They don’t, sir. At least not yet.” John clarified as he spoke to the cousins over the phone.“What do you mean?” Hans asked.“No one person can rule over the underworld of Marina City, let alone this country.” John told Hans. “The city and this country is too diverse for any one person to take control. There is also the matter of people like the Lu and Cho families that make taking control even more difficult.”“Isn’t the Essen Mafia powerful enough to get them to follow?” Hans asked as he looked at his cousin.“Not as just the Essen Mafia.” Stephen said with a smile on his lips. “Huh?” Hans was now even more
New Threats
When Stephen declared the changes when it came to who would inherit the Cho family fortune in the future, Ina was no longer able to keep the reporters in line.Stephen decided to end the press conference there and move on.He, Vanessa, and Hans all left the stage and returned to Stephen’s office at the top floor. They were greeted by Paolo’s laughter as they entered the room, he was playing with Amalia and Robert. “Shouldn’t you be putting out the fire I just started downstairs?” Stephen asked as he gave Robert an amused look.His friend was never big on children.As a matter of fact, Robert was probably the one that was most against having children in their friend group. So it was quite the surprise for Stephen to see Robert happily playing with a child.“They don’t need me to put out that fire.” Robert chuckled as his phone began to ring next to him.“Shi-” Robert began to curse.“Language!” Both Hans and Stephen shouted, making Robert jump in surprise. “You two are going to scar
Next Heirs
Paolo Cho was a handsome child, it was something that the reporters couldn’t deny. He had received amazing genes from the Fredrikson, Ong, and Cho families, making him probably one of the best looking children around.But when Paolo Cho smiled he won the hearts of everyone in the crowd, even those that wanted to speak badly of the Cho and Fredrikson families.They might have been bribed by the Ong families and their allies, but there was no denying that Pablo Cho was happy.Pablo waved at the crowd and smiled. He then hugged his father as he shied away from the crowd again.People couldn’t blame the little boy, he had lived his entire life in hiding and now, all of a sudden he was in front of hundreds of people. Every single one of the reporters wanted to snap a photo of him or his father. It was obvious that Paolo was already getting uncomfortable with the situation.“I’ll bring him in.” Amalia volunteered as she took Paolo from Hans, allowing him to stand straight and glare at the

Press Conference 2
“Ah, I see you’ve noticed it.” Stephen said as he saw the confused expression on some of the reporters' faces.Not everyone had seen a DNA test in the past. Normally when businessmen and actors were trying to prove they were not the father of a child, the match would be much lower compared to what was flashed on the screen.“Allow me to explain for those who are seeing a DNA test for the first time.” Stephen said with a smile. “The report you are seeing behind me says that I am somehow related to Gabrielle Ong’s child. Now for those that are familiar with the genealogy of the Ong and Cho families, we are not in any way related.”The members of the media nodded as they slowly absorbed the information that Stpehen was telling them.Most were genuinely surprised at how kind Stephen sounded and at how willing he was to explain the situation to them.Normally, leaders in the same position as Stephen had little to no patience to explain trivial thing such as these, but Stephen took his tim
Press Conference Part 1
The parking lot of Philip Tower was filled with people chatting among themselves.It was no mystery what the Cho family was about to announce, they all knew that the biggest issue of that time was if Stephen Cho did or didn’t have an illegitimate child.Many people claimed that it was just a ploy of the Ong family to get their members out of jail.Others said that there was truth to it, especially since Gabrielle Ong was Stephen’s ex girlfriend.No matter what rumor people believed they all still wanted to be there. They all wanted to hear the truth and they all wanted to report it first. Inside the lobby of Philip Tower, Stephen looked out at the crowd that had formed.He had never expected that these many people would be interested in their personal lives. He thought that mostly gossip columnists would appear, but it seemed that every kind of reporter stood in their office’s parking lot.“You can’t seriously be surprised.” Hans said as he stood next to his cousin.“I just didn’t th

“We need to make a press release, the media will not leave us alone if we don’t.” Amalia told her brother as they sat around the meeting table in his office.Among those Stephen had invited were people he believed were crucial when it came to the matter of Paolo Cho’s identity.“Have you gotten the Ong family under control?” Stephen asked as he looked to his cousin.He knew that only a few days had passed and that Hans had his hands full watching over Paolo, but they needed to make sure that the Ong family wouldn’t cause them problems.“Almost, there are still some who are trying to question my ability.” Hans said with a malicious grin. “My people are making sure they understand who I am today.”Stephen nodded, impressed by Hans’ efficiency with dealing with the matter of the Ong family.“So we can schedule a press release today, the news agencies will publish it tomorrow and everything will be settled.” Amalia said as she thought of the timeline in her head.“No, we won’t just releas
Miguel Villanueva's Departure
Miguel and Manuel might come from a weaker family than the Cho’s but they had begun as Stephen’s friends, so Stephen decided to accompany Miguel to the airport the next day.He had offered for Miguel to use his private jet and the younger Villanueva brother happily accepted the offer.Stephen and Manuel stood on the tarmac with Miguel as they said their final goodbyes.“I’m guessing I won’t see you for a while, boss.” Miguel teased him.Technically now it was true that Stephen was their boss. With the trade to protect their family name, they were more like his henchmen doing his bidding rather than his partners through a treaty.“Most likely.” Stephen said with a nod.His wife was pregnant and he had no intentions of leaving her alone for too long. “I just wanted to say, thank you.” Miguel told Stephen. “You helped us back then and you helped us again now. Jacob would have ruined our family if news got out about his cases.”Stephen nodded, then he realized something, he forgot to as
The Villanueva Name
Stephen had been exhausted by the night before.Paolo had woken up in the middle of the night and cried out for both Hans and Stephen. Stephen had been sleeping with the little boy at the time, but he refused to calm down unless his Daddy Hans was there.It seemed Paolo had settled on what to call them.Hans was Daddy, and Stephen was Papa. In the same way, he called Vanessa his Mama. When Stephen had asked a maid to call for Hans, his cousin seemed like he was about to burst into tears because his son had called for him.“Boss?” Andrew called, waving his hand in front of Stephen. “Sorry, Paolo had a hard time sleeping after yesterday’s incident. What were you saying Andrew?”Stephen asked as he tried to focus on the discussion at hand.“The bidding for the latest piece of land that that government has put up for sale starts in a week. The procurement director wanted to ask if you wished to purchase it.” Andrew informed Stpehen as he handed him the details of the piece of property.
