“Was it too much, uncle?” Stephen asked, worried that what he had done would have a big negative implication on the family and the company.
Stephen had initially calculated the risks, and in his mind it was a safe one. He had already turned over the documents for a proper investigation and the police did say that his evidence seemed solid.
“It wasn’t something I would do, but you have your own methods and it’s not in my place to reprimand you.” Armand told Stephen. “But I think it was a smart move.”
“You just said you couldn&

Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Essen Mafia's Prison
“You’re not going to ask me to suppress the news?” Robert asked Stephen as he and Edward quickly walked behind their friend. “Aren’t you worried that this will paint a bad image of your first few days as Vice President?” They were currently headed towards the prison where Stephen’s father, his uncle, Cookie Ye, and Liam Ye were being held. “There are many people keeping a close eye on Cho Industries and the Cho Family. They are circling like hungry sharks, searching for a weakness.” Stephen said as they stood before the doors of the prison. “Stephen wants to attack them before they attack him.” Edward concluded as he grinned. “And what does visiting your dad and his mistress
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir William's Regret
William glared at Stephen. The younger man couldn’t help but laugh at the man before him, it was clear from his expression that he had no idea what Stephen was talking about.“Let me spell it out for you, uncle.” Stephen said with a sly smile as he approached his uncle. He leaned down and lifted William Cho’s chin so that the older man was looking in his eyes. “I own the Essen Mafia, and this prison is owned by the Essen Mafia.” Stephen told the man as his eyes went wife with shock. Stephen laughed as he released William’s chin walking back to his seat across his uncle. “You really underestimated me.” Stephen said in a mocking tone. “You know, if you really kept tabs on me all those years you could have nipped this plan in the bud. You could have also discovered a secret that could have been used against grandpa.”William glared at his nephew, choosing not to say anything more. “What, uncle? Did you finally run out of words?” Stephen asked as he smiled. William continued to gla
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Vincent's Confession
William Cho was dragged away kicking and screaming as Stephen collapsed on his seat and sighed. He may have put up a strong front when William Cho was in the room, but inside he was breaking down.He was furious at his uncle for letting things get that far, he also blamed his grandfather for allowing his uncle’s jealousy to reach that point.“Are you okay?” Edward asked as he and Robert stood behind Stephen. Stephen remained silent as he nodded.“I just wasn’t expecting what he said.” Stephen sighed. “I didn’t think that his hate for me began the moment I was born.”Edward simply nodded as they left Stephen to his thoughts. After what felt like hours, Stephen lifted his head and looked to the guard at the door.“Bring my father in.” He ordered. The guard nodded and left Stephen and his friends alone. “Are you sure you’re ready?” Robert asked Stephen as he continued to stand behind his friend.Stephen nodded as he continued to look at the door. “He is my father, I need to know.”
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Bitter Truths
“You disappoint me, dad.” Stephen stood in front of the older man. “I don’t know how a man such as you could father children like me and Amalia.”“Maybe intelligence skips a generation.” Robert teased as he joined in the conversation.Vincent Cho wanted to glare at the young man, but he couldn’t, he knew he wasn’t in that position anymore.“Could be.” Stephen hummed. “When you were younger I was so proud to have given the Cho family a son. It meant I had just secured my position as your grandfather’s heir despite my brother’s attempts to take the position from me.” Vincent Cho said as he recounted the past to his son.“But you still went around and had another one with Cookie Ye.” Stephen hissed, disappointed by his father’s choice to cheat on his mother.“I never wanted to marry Claudette Sy, she was too perfect. Her achievements outshined mine! What man wants a woman like that?!” It was as if a switch had been activated in Vincent Cho’s head and the truth began to pour out.“Only i
Revenge of the Abandoned Heir Telling Amalia
“Brother, you called me over?” Amalia asked as she entered Stephen’s study. She was quite surprised when Vanessa welcomed her with a smile, but Amalia could see a hint of sadness in her eyes.Amalia couldn’t help but wonder if the couple had fought.“Your wife said I could find you here and she told me to just come in.” Amalia told her brother as she walked over to Stephen.She could see that he was buried in work. His desk was full of various documents and his laptop was opened to the side.“Yeah, sit.” Stephen told her as he kept his eyes on the documents before him. Amalia frowned at her brother’s behavior, she didn’t expect him to be like this today.“Are you and Vanessa fighting?”Stephen looked up at Amalia in shock. He didn’t think that his sister would be quick to jump to the conclusion that what was bothering him was a relationship problem. “What? Vanessa was clearly trying to hide that something was bothering her and here you are locked up in your home office.” Amalia poi

“Vice President Cho?” The head of the marketing department asked when he didn’t get a response from Stephen after they completed their presentation.Andrew looked at his boss and confirmed that Stephen’s mind was elsewhere.“Stephen, they just finished their presentation.” Andrew whispered as not to embarrass his boss.Stephen looked up and nodded.“Slide 10, where you presented all the information about the company, I see some questionable data. I want you to go over it again, it will affect the overall plan. I suspect that it’s understated.” Stephen pointed out flawlessly as if he wasn’t distracted.

Stephen rushed after his grandfather, but the chairman continued to ignore him.Not wanting to make a scene, Stephen walked back to his office and packed his things.“Have the driver take you to the Cho Family Mansion.” He told his wife as he made sure all his things were in his bag.“Your grandpa didn’t take it well, I assume?” Vanessa asked her husband.“No.” Stephen answered. “I’ll go ahead. I need to speak to Uncle Armand and Aunt Anastasia, if Andrew did as I asked they should be at the mansion by now.”“Good luck.” Vanessa told her husband as they ended the cal

“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

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.

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.
