Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Sons of the Cho Family
“I’m surprised Alona agreed.” Vanessa told her husband as Pao Pao now slept on his lap. Stephen had been watching the little boy, longing to have a child of his own. He was thinking about asking Vanessa if they could start trying when her voice pulled him from his thoughts.“What do you mean?” Stephen asked as he looked at his wife.He then pulled her closer and let her lean her head on him. This was the life he wanted, a family. “She hadn’t fully recovered from the devastation another member of the Cho family has inflicted on her.” Vanessa explained to her husband. “Do you think she would have been afraid of my cousin Hans?” Stephen scoffed. “Although, I have to admit, he is more dangerous than my uncle.”“Aren’t you afraid that he will come after you?” Vanessa gasped, suddenly sitting up. “You messed with him when he was young.”Stephen sighed and shook his head.“Hans and I used to be good friends, really good friends.” Stephen told Vanessa as he recalled his past. “It was just
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Third Happiest Day
Stephen didn’t know how to react.He just stared at Vanessa when she announced that she was pregnant. He couldn’t even move since Pao Pao was sleeping on his lap. “Say something.” Vanessa said as her voice shook and broke. He could tell that she was worried about his reaction. “V- V- Vanessa, is it true, we’re going to be parents?” Stephen said as he stuttered. He was too much in shock, he was too happy. “Yes.” She said with a frown. “But I understand this wasn’t planned and you just took over, well temporarily took-”“No, no, I think this might be the third best day of my life.” Stephen said as he lifted his hand to wipe away a tear that had fallen from Vanessa’s eye. She started to laugh as it slowly sunk in that Stephen wasn’t mad that she was pregnant. “Did you really think I wouldn’t want to have a family with you?” Stephen asked as he pulled Vanessa to him and kissed her gently on the lips. He could feel her smile clearly relieved that Stephen was happy about her pregnanc
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Hans Arrives
Stephen and Vanessa decided that they would tell his mother and sister the news about Vanessa’s pregnancy after Hans’ visit. Stephen wanted all the attention to be on the little boy as his future was about to be decided. “It came back positive, by the way.” Stephen told Hana as she sat anxiously with Pao Pao on her lap. “Positive?” She asked with a confused look on her face.She was like this most of the time, she often seemed lost and confused, but in reality she was just processing too much confusing herself.“The DNA test.” Stephen told Hana. He had intentionally decided not to tell anyone about the results until Hans had met Pao Pao, but it seemed important to mention it to Hana now.“He’s my cousin’s son. So he is a member of the Cho family, just not my son.” Stephen said with a shrug as Hana nodded and didn’t say a word.Everyone had already expected this outcome, Stephen had managed to get his hands on the video recordings of that night and he saw Hans enter the wrong room.
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir A Child's Broken Heart
“Hans!” Amalia scolded as she dragged her cousin out of the room.“Are you okay?” Stephen heard Hana asked the little boy as he began to cry. “Is he really my dad? Why doesn’t my dad want me?” Paolo asked as he hugged Hana tightly. “It’s okay, Paolo.” Stephen said as he walked up and picked Paolo up, holding the boy close, feeling his pain. “I’ll talk to your father. We’ll fix this.”Stephen could feel Paolo’s pain. He felt bad for the child, no child deserted the rejection Paolo had just received. “Can’t you just be my dad Uncle Stephen? Can’t you just adopt me?” Paolo cried out as Stephen allowed him to. “Your Auntie Amalia is speaking to him right now.” Stephen whispered into his ear.“I don’t want him as my dad! I want you Uncle Stephen!” The little boy wailed.Vanessa frowned and patted him on his back. “It’s unfair, so unfair.” Hana said angrily as she balled her fists. Stephen could see that they were already turning pale from the lack of blood.He nodded at Vanessa, tell
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

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.
