Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Part of the Cho Family
“Really grandpa!?” Vanessa gasped as Eldrich Cho told her stories from Stephen’s childhood.“He was such a grandma’s boy that he would cry just in front of my late wife so that he could get what he wanted!” Eldrich Cho said with a loud laugh. “That’s because you were all so strict on me.” Stephen grumbled as he continued to smile, happy that his childhood could now be shared with Vanessa. “Why wouldn’t I be?” Eldrich Cho said as he glared at his grandson. “You are the heir to the Cho Empire, you are supposed to be smart, strong, and unmoving in the face of any challenge. You needed to be brought up properly.” “It seems that that very upbringing saved me, grandpa.” Stephen smiled at the old man, who nodded in reply.“Had you grandma and mom not raised me properly, I would have long died or given up.” Stephen said as he beamed proudly at his grandfather. “I might have survived by chance, but it was because of my upbringing that I am before you now.” “I will always be proud of you, S
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Stephen's Favorite Place
Stephen watched as his grandfather gave Vanessa a tour. “Up there are the private rooms.” Eldrich Cho pointed up the stairs to the fourth floor of the mansion. “I can’t let you go up there since my daughter-in-law is resting while my granddaughter keeps her company.”Stephen looked up longingly at the steps that led to where he had lived six years ago. “The fourth and fifth floors hold the offices and private rooms.” Stephen further explained. “Let’s go this way.” Eldrich Cho said as he let Vanessa away from the stairs. “Here on the second floor we have some more public venues, a formal dinning hall, and a ballroom for events. We also have rooms for hosting guests. The guest rooms are here as well.”“It’s a very beautiful home.” Vanessa said as she looked around and marveled at the elegant and intricate design of the house. “Does it get lonely?” Stephen was shocked by her question, while Eldrich Cho laughed.“It does, it sure does, especially after my children left.” Eldrich Cho e
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Not A Dream
“Am I still dreaming?” Claudette Cho asked as she looked at her daughter.“No mom, this isn’t a dream. That really is my brother. Stephen didn’t die.” Amalia said as tears started to form in her eyes.Amalia had been wanting to tell her mother about Stephen surviving, but she couldn’t do it without his permission. She also understood the risks should Claudette find out that her son was alive.“Mom, it’s me. Look.” Stephen said as he pinched his mother’s arm.“Ow!” The woman exclaimed. Her eyes suddenly went wide with the realization that Stephen was indeed alive and that this wasn’t another of her dreams.“Stephen!” His mother cried out as she hugged him tightly, sobbing in his arms.“Mom, I’m fine. I’m alive.” He said as he gently coaxed the woman in his arms. “How?” Claudette Cho asked between sobs as she continued to hold him tight, afraid that if she let go he would vanish into thin air. “You know what, I don’t care how, the only thing that matters to me is that you are alive.”
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Engagement and Marriage
Due to Claudette Cho suddenly showing up and discovering about Stephen’s survival, Stephen and Vanessa ended up having diner at Cho Mansion.“So you and dad aren’t really divorced?” Stephen asked, shocked by the news he had learned from his mother and grandfather.Even Amalia was hearing this for the first time.“Yes, legally, I’m still married to him. Do you really think he wouldn’t have found a way to marry that whore if we were really divorced?” Claudette asked as she laughed at her husband and his mistress.“So why announce your divorce?” Amalia asked, confused as to why her parents had made the announcement.“I didn’t, he did.” Claudette answered in a cold tone. “I know he is still your father, Amalia, but he is not a good man.”“He is just a man that gave his sperm so that I could be born. After what he did to us, I no longer consider him to be my father.” Amalia hissed as she thought of how difficult it had been after her father announced his divorce from her mother.She looked
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir A Call
“Your mom was really nice, and so pretty too. She doesn’t look a day over thirty!” Vanessa exclaimed as she and Stephen ate lunch the next day.They had been so exhausted from their visit to Cho Mansion the day before that they collapsed in bed and didn’t wake up till late the next morning.“My mom isn’t normally that nice.” Stephen chuckled. “She’s only nice to the people she likes and respects. She’s been through way too much to be nice to everyone.”“So she likes me?” Vanessa asked, worried that Stephen’s family was just being nice to her for Stephen’s sake.“You’re asking silly questions, my mom, sister, and grandfather would take your side if we ever got into a fight.” Stephen laughed at the look of shock on Vanessa’s face. “Yes, they love you.”Before Vanessa could complain, Stephen’s phone began to ring and he had to excuse himself.“Boss!” It was John, his right hand man in the mafia, calling him. “Boss you know I wouldn’t bother you while you are here, but there are many matt
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Odd Behaviors
Stephen drummed his fingers on the table.“Leave me.” Stephen told John as he dismissed his right hand man.John knew that Stephen would ask to be alone if it weren’t for an important reason. He quickly stood and left, bringing with him the documents that they had slowly gathered on the gangs.“John, I want everything in three days.” Stephen said in a cold tone as his right hand man nodded and closed the door behind him.Stephen quickly called his grandfather, anxious as he waited for the old man to pick up.“Stephen?” Eldrich Cho asked, surprised that his grandson would call on a Sunday and at this time
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir When They Find Out
“You tricked me.” Amalia grumbled as she crossed her arms on her chest and glared at her soon to be sister-in-law. “You told me we would be having a fun night out and you invited these three idiots.” “She hasn’t acted this childish in years, it’s a miracle.” Robert Ke chuckled as he pointed at Amalia.“Ever since your fake death, Amalia has been cold, distant, and well, too mature for her own sake.” Edward Hao explained to his friend as he smiled. “They aren’t that bad.” Vanessa reasoned with Amalia. “Plus, Stephen said we can go to a bar. That will be fun.”“You both have work tomorrow, I doubt we can stay out that late.” Amalia grumbled.“We don’t have to stay out too late to have fun.” Stephen pointed out. “Plus, isn’t tomorrow your first day at Cho Industries as well?” Amalia frowned at the reminder, but nodded nonetheless.“I’m the Chairman’s daughter, no one will complain if I’m late.” Amalia tried her best to defend her initial declaration that it would not be a fun night.
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir New Team Member
After having a fruitful weekend, Stephen returned to the office, excited to finally complete the project they had been working on.“Stephen, good morning.” Andrew greeted, as they bumped into each other at the basement parking lot of Philip Tower.“Good morning, let’s get this project done and completed, I don’t want to end up cramming anything.” Stephen announced as they got into the elevator. Initially it was only Stephen, Andrew, and one more employee of Cho Industries, but when they got to the ground floor, several people squeezed in pushing Stephen and Andrew to the back.“Quite an eventful day for the Cho family, isn’t it.” A girl giggled as she gossiped with her friend.“Why did something new happen?” Her friend asked, seemingly oblivious to whatever rumors circulated. “The young lady of the Cho family starts work today, Amalia Cho.” The first woman said in a low voice. Since they were in a cramped space, whispering was useless and everyone on the elevator heard what she had

“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.
