The old man acted as if there was no bad blood between him and his third son, but Stephen knew better.
He thought back to the car ride from the airport to the Cho Mansion.
“There have always been families that are interested in our wealth and influence.” Armand explained as the car drove through the highways, unobstructed by traffic. “But they never attempted to do anything.”
Stephen nodded as he listened to his uncle.
Armand Cho might have been younger, but Stephen believed he might just be smarter and wiser than both Vincent a

Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Anastasia Smith
“Now Anastasia, we both know that your situation back then was very different to Stephen’s and Vanessa’s.” Claudette Cho said, scolding her sister-in-law.Since Vincent’s arrest, Claudette seemed to recover faster. In the past she was not as active or as happy. She would normally sit down and stay silent when there was a large group.It also probably helped that everyone that had gathered that day was family.Vincent’s siblings all knew that he was not a good husband to Claudette. As a matter of fact they had all backed Eldrich Cho when he forbade Vincent from divorcing Claudette.With the combined influence of Claudette’s family, the So family, as well as Eldrich Cho’s influence, there was no way Vincent could divorce his wife.“Let me at least tell them.” Anastasia grumbled. “Who knows, they might pick up something from this story.”“Mom, just let Aunt Anastasia tell her story.” Stephen urged as he placed a hand on his mother’s shoulder. Claudette frowned, but didn’t object as eve

Revenge of the Abandoned Heir A Separated Team
“As I mentioned in the past I will spread you all out between departments, the long term goal of this is for me to have trusted and capable people in each.” Stephen announced as Amalia slid a folder to him.The folder contained all the details for each member of his team and the department they would be moving to.“It feels like you’re sending us away.” Carissa said with a frown.“Maybe we should start with you.” Amalia teased, making Carissa roll her eyes.Over the time that Amalia had been part of Stephen’s team, she had gotten quite close to his people and they treated her like a normal employee, something Amalia valued.
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Being Vice President
“Mr. Cho, it’s an honor to meet you in person, Young Master Cho.” This was the line that almost every executive that Stephen met that day said.He could recite by heart the praises they rained on him.It wasn’t all the same, some spoke of how good looking he was. Other about how impressed they were with his presentation.They also told him how much they looked forward to working with Stephen in the future.Stephen wanted to laugh and roll his eyes at most of them.

Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Visiting
Stephen, Vanessa, and Stephen’s uncle Armand drove up to the apartment complex where Charlie lived. When they arrived, both Vanessa and Armand were shocked by the sight of the residetial complex.“Uncle Armand, do you have any idea what this place is and what Uncle Charlie does that would allow him to stay in a place like this?” Stephen asked as his driver pulled up to the driveway.“I am aware of what Charlie does, but I didn’t think that he had managed to climb this high up.” Armand looked out, as he seemed to be trying to process his brother’s situation. “The only sure way for us to find out is Charlie tells us, but knowing what he does, he might never tell you.” Arman shrugged as they saw Charlie at the entrance, walking up to meet them.“Armand?” Charlie gasped as he suddenly ran towards Armand and hugged his brother. “I didn’t think you would want to see me after last time.” “Why wouldn’t I?” Armand questioned his brother as he gave him a hug. “Our relationship can survive s
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir The Truth Will Set You Free
Charlie stared at Stephen, he was shocked that the younger man had lost his temper. Normally Stephen was calm and collected, rarely making any rash decisions.But the Stephen before him was nothing like that. “Stephen.” Vanessa had placed a hand on her husband’s shoulder to calm him down. She knew that this topic was not something that Stephen would address normally.It was closer to his heart, it was the man who had helped him escape his uncle’s clutches that had lied to him for years. “Don’t try to intervene, Vanessa.” He hissed, not making a move to shrug her hand off his shoulder. “What do you want me to say, Stephen?” Charlie asked as he placed down his utensils and looked Stephen in the eyes. “I’m not an idiot or a child, Charlie.” Stephen hissed. “How many lies have you told me over the years? And until now you insist on lying to me.”“I only lied to protect you. What truth do you want, Stephen? One that will just hurt all of us?” Charlie questioned, his deep voice echoing
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir More Surprises
“Why did you hide it from me?” Stephen asked Charlie as they settled back down.The air in the room was much lighter and everyone was smiling, even Charlie who had been forced to tell Stephen the truth.“Stephen, at that time I didn’t even know if you knew your father had a fourth brother.” Charlie pointed out. “If you had not known about me, you would have thought I was someone trying to take advantage of the Cho name.”Stephen nodded, understanding his uncle’s reason.“Don’t think that I hired you and later on treated you as family just because your last name was Cho.” Charlie told his nephew. “You are an amazing young man, Stephen, you are th

“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.

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.
