Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1050: stronger than ever!

"I am acknowledging Jonathan Pierson as part of the Pierson Family," Zoren announced. He scanned everyone's reactions and added, "Moreover, it is the chairwoman's wish to have him learn about the company and the family."

"And releasing a statement, acknowledging an illegitimate child, and letting him into the company will make it twice as big!"
