“I know that since I am new and my grandfather is old you think that half assed plans will be approved by us.” Stephen hissed as he glared at the product development team of Cho Industries as they stood before him.
As he had ordered, all proposals needed to be presented to Stephen, the most urgent ones were the first to go though.
“N- n- no sir.” One of the employees managed to blurt out. He was clearly scared of Stephen.
The young Vice President hadn’t even raised his voice. His words cut through them like a sharp blade.
They didn’t need to admit that he was right, he could see it in their eyes. Their reaction also after being criticized also revea
“Vice President Cho, your next appointment is here.” Andrew said with a smile as he led Catherine Ying and her team into Stephen’s office.They all couldn’t help but look around in awe.That was always the first reaction of the employees when they entered the new Vice President’s office.It was almost as big as the Chairman’s office with more modern designs and more practical spaces. It was built to suit the much younger and harder working Vice President of Cho Industries.“Let’s take this meeting to the board room.” Stephen announced as he took out a remote and pointed at the far end of his office. “I didn’t do anything!” Catherine shouted as the guards apprehended her. “I didn’t take that money!”Stephen waved Andrew over as he carried another set of documents.He threw it before her and the members of the finance team.“Transfers and purchases, all done in your name.” Stephen hissed. “Do you still deny it?”Stephen glared at Catherine. He knew that there was no way she could deny the proof before her, but as always, Catherine Ying did something he thought she wouldn’t.“You’re framing me!” Catherine accused Stephen. “Everyone here knows that you hatRevenge of the Abandoned Heir Public Shame
“You were quite the showman today.” Armand told his nephew as he reclined on his seat. “Very brutal.”“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&
“Charlie.” Anastasia said in a low voice as Charlie lifted his head.Stephen could see that his uncle was on the verge of tearing up.He looked to his left where Anastasia stood, only to see his aunt’s tears slowly falling from her eyes.No matter how angry she was, no matter what harsh speech she had planned for Charlie, seeing him in person, alive moved her.“Anastasia, sister.” Charlie managed to say as he stretched his arms, welcoming her to his home.Anastasia quickly ran over and hugged him as both she and Charlie began to cry.“I’m sorry,
“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
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
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.”
“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
