Rise of the Rich and Powerful Jamie Ashford
On the day Jamie lost his mother to cancer, he also lost his only accommodation and his girlfriend. Years of torture, humiliation and servitude from his stepfather and stepbrothers, Jamie was nothing more than a miserable bastard to the Reynolds, one they so desperately needed to do away with. His mother’s death was their perfect opportunity as his stepfather evicted him from his house, abused him and his dead mother publicly, and ordered the doctor to sell her corpse to organ harvesters.
His stepbrothers made a spectacle of him and his dead mother, treating them as though they were worse than animals. And to crown their hall of humiliation, they took his girlfriend and cost him his job. With everything lost, there was nothing to live for anymore. Jamie owed the hospital over $100,000 and his boss over the same amount. His life was at risk, his existence was meaningless, and everything was set against him…
Except for a sudden alert of $10,000,000,000 and a call from the world’s richest and most powerful man, claiming to be his grandfather. Jamie wasn’t a bastard after all; he had a family—a rich and powerful family at that—and he was their rightful heir.
With a net worth of tens of trillions of dollars and the power to shut down the world with the snap of his finger…
What fate awaits all those who did him wrong?
What end has he destined for those who mocked his dead mother and her dignity?
What was in the heart of the trillionaire for those who made his life hell and paraded their measly change over him?
Revenge is best served cold…Or whatever temperature the Rich and Powerful Jamie Ashford wants!

Chapter: Chapter 587“Aaarrrgh!”A chuckle could be heard getting closer and the severely wounded officer could see the arachnid form of Assistant William Jerbel hanging off the side of the building like a true spider. Even from the distance of three floors, including the disadvantage of exhausted and teary eyes, the wounded police officer could still see the haunting smile on the face of this half-dark entity. William yelled out his words in between mocking chuckles, the dagger still embedded deep in his eyes. “Seriously, I've gotta give it to you. Jumping out of a building at such a height, just to get away from me…...”He chuckled briefly. “The LA police department definitely sent their best officer to look into my boss didn't they? Too bad you met me.”He began pulling the dark tendrils like the rope, moving his head to the officer's scream of agony as he was being pulled back up to that floor, kegs first.After all, these dark tendrils were pulling the unfortunate officer through the wounds they ha

Chapter: Chapter 586 Having been the private driver of Edward for more than a month, he had mapped many escape routes. He knew where to run to get away from here, and that monster, as fast as possible.The monster in the car was looking less like a human as his skin began to move like a suit that was losing its form, undulating horrendously with every struggle.After a couple of seconds, Edward stopped struggling to remove the dagger from his eyes. It had been ruthlessly plunged deep into his eyes.He sat up straight, murmuring to himself. “Oh, I'm starting to feel pain. Fuck, his aim is good. I gotta give him that. Now, I'm mad. He has to pay before he dies today. I'll make sure to let out my anger at him.”With every word, the dark smile on his face became maddening as he attempted to open the door on the passenger side, only to find that it was locked.A second later, he figured that the officer had locked it from the driver's side. “A well-trained spy, huh? The city's police force is definitely gonna

Chapter: Chapter 585 The undercover police officer found his window of opportunity. There was a dagger he had hidden beneath the seat ever since he got this job. This had always been for emergencies like this. Though this police officer has no idea that he would be discovered at all, not to mention this soon, and that he would end up needing his hidden dagger this early.He steadily reached beneath the seat through the small space between his seat and the closed door, sliding his palm tight through.The entire time, his eyes never left Assistant William's horribly morphed face. His hand finally reached the hilt of his dagger and he had just firmly held onto it when he felt something sliding over the back of his palm.He froze as he felt the moving body was wet and thick. It was like a wet tentacle feeling his hand. A horrible deduction lit up in his mind.This police officer made his decision as he swung his hand out of cover, straight towards Assistant William's neck. But a thin spike suddenly shot rig

Chapter: Chapter 584“W …What?”Assistant William’s sinister smile dwindled in disappointment. “Is that it? That's all you can muster right now? Are you fucking kidding me? Aren't you gonna ask questions about how we found out?!”The driver stared at William before shifting his gaze to Edward, whose face was now cloaked, almost concealing the sinister intrigue in his eyes.“There's a mole in the police force, isn't there? Whatever society the Reynold family belongs to, you both are a part of it as well. You lied to the world. You're the backup Benard Reynold had long installed in case he fell.”The undercover agent was shaking violently, but a resolute expression was on his face, conveying that he was giving in to his inevitable fate.“Edward Reynold, no matter how smart you think you are, the world will find out just what you really are….just like how your father and brothers were exposed.”Edward stared at the undercover police officer with a widening smile. “Too bad you won't be here to verify your pre

Chapter: Chapter 583 Edward waved his hands exaggeratedly. “But look how things have turned out. Stacy remains a traitor after everything that has happened. She actually dares to lean further into Jamie's help, associating herself with him even deeper.”“If I had been allowed to discipline her and mold her mind, she would have been a great help to the family with how close she is to Jamie.”Assistant William Jerbel became intrigued by what he was hearing. “Oh? Sir, what would you have done differently?”Glad that his scheming ego is being allowed to express itself, Edward gladly answered. “First, I would merely alter Stacy's entire perception of Jamie and his mother, but I won't have her removed from his side completely.”“If things had gone according to my plan, Stacy would have remained a perfect agent at Jamie's side, accumulating his years of gratitude, while probing for every single weakness that I could explore.”Assistant William raised an eyebrow. “You were going to make your little sister a spy?

Chapter: Chapter 582 Assistant William Jerbel rubbed the sore spot with a wry smile. “Sorry, Sir.”After that, Assistant William glanced at the driver with a slight glare. “Well? What the fuck are you still doing just sitting there? Get us back to the company already.”The driver nodded swiftly and the car started, getting on the road and leaving behind the few fans with the signboards still chanting Edward's name.Edward scoffed as he gave them a last glance through the tinted windshield before settling back in his seat. “Even the worst criminals throughout history still earned themselves a lot of admirers decades and centuries after their horrendous crimes have been proven to be true.”“So what does that make me who has been vindicated of any involvement in any crimes committed by my family? It's only natural that people rebel against the patterned thinking of the rest of the world.”Assistant William pointed something out. “Sir, we also gave your face card to thank you for this. A face like yours woul

Chapter: Chapter 557: The Price of LoyaltyThe days following his confrontation with Mark felt like an endless storm to Justin. The stench of betrayal hung over him like a cloud, darker and heavier than any he had ever known. It was not just Mark's actions that wounded him; it was the realization that even those he trusted most were capable of turning against him. His empire, his family, the people he had built everything for, none of them were safe.In the quieter times when Justin wasn't surrounded by the unrelenting demands of his empire, the loneliness of the entire thing settled on him,In the silence of his penthouse, the cold glass walls offer no comfort. He knew this day would come. But it's still painful. The idea that someone he trusted, people who have stood by him for many years, can decide to betray him.It cuts deeper than any opponent that he had ever faced. But he didn't have the leisure to brood over it. The fight with Ethan was far from over, and Mark was just one casualty in this war. The loss of loyalty

Chapter: Chapter 556: ReckoningThe room was silent when Justin re-entered. His expression was cold and disbelieving. There was no need for an explanation to the group still seated around the table for what had happened. The tension hung in the air. Every person in the room knew, it seemed, instinctively that a bomb had just gone off.And the consequences will cause serious damage. Mark sat at the head of the table. His fingers tapped the polished wood nervously. His usual confident demeanor was gone. It was replaced by a feeling of discomfort radiating from him. Justin could see it in the way his eyes avoided his gaze. But there had been more-something darker, something deeper. Silently, Justin walked toward the tabletop; his footsteps rang harsh in the otherwise silent room. Mark's eyes flicked up, catching everything else for the briefest instant before quickly looking down.“Everyone out,” Justin said, his voice harsh, commanding. There was no space for dissent.The team, sensing the heaviness of the moment,

Chapter: Chapter 555: The Enemy WithinJustin sat in his office, staring at the files Mark had delivered earlier. The quiet hum of the city outside his window was a stark contrast to the storm raging inside him. A leak found in his own company—what he thought was kept safe—had just turned into a full-blown leak. People close to him are betraying him. And he didn't know who it was.In his head, Mark's words played on repeat, but it was the stabbing betrayal that hurt the most. He had single-handedly built this company as anything by steel-back-end deals, through a relentless strategy, and with the will to establish iron-clad grounds for its existence. And now, someone within his entire circle began tearing it all apart and selling to the highest bidder. A slap against the face, and Justin wasn't certain how to take it. He instantly picked the phone, dialing Mark's number. It rang once and twice, and right then came Mark's voice.“Justin?”“Where are we with the leak?” Justin’s voice was clipped, every word laced with an

Chapter: Chapter 554: The Forgotten FoeUpon waking, Justin felt gnawing uneasiness. He had won relatively hard and long, but as he walked in the office that morning, something was not right; the air felt heavy, the tension intense and indiscernible. Somehow, Justin couldn't seem to shake an inner feeling that someone was still perhaps watching, waiting for just the right moment to make his move.“Good morning, Mr. Drogonuv,” Mark’s voice broke through the silence as Justin walked into his office. The assistant’s usual upbeat tone was tinged with something more serious. “We need to talk.”Justin raised his eyebrows but waved his hand for Mark to continue. "what happened?" Mark's expression was tense, and Justin immediately felt a sense of urgency in the room.“It’s about the company’s recent movements. "I notice a few discrepancies in our financial reports. At first, I thought it was simply an oversight, but I now doubt it," Justin's heartbeat sped up. “What kind of irregularities?”“A few transactions that don’t add up.

Chapter: Chapter 553: A New HorizonThe dust has settled. But the war was not truly over. Ethan's fall from grace was swift and unyielding. But Justin knows the road ahead isn't without challenges. As the remnants of Ethan's empire collapsed, Justin is forced to face the reality that his tireless victories have come at a terrible cost.The meeting room is quiet. It was the silence that came only after a fight. Board members who were once concerned about Justin's methods, Now they looked at him with a different respect. They understood the stakes, the price paid for survival in this ruthless world.But for Justin, respect is not as important as the weight of his decision. He sat at the head of the table, looking around at the face he was leaning on. Mark stood on the side. His normally confident demeanor was now marked with a delicate caution. Ava sat across from him. Her eyes narrowed as she examined the information in front of her. “Ethan's downfall has left a void in the market,” Justin said in a low but firm tone,

Chapter: Chapter 552: The Final BlowThe days that followed the media explosion were chaotic. Ethan’s empire, once a towering structure of influence and wealth, was now a crumbling shell. He had endured the tumult of the tragedy caused by the scandal of Samuel Dayton, more than anything that Justin had ever expected. It had spread so far and caused investors to back out. But Justin was well aware that it was not yet over. He was indeed cornered, but that did not mean he was out of the game.One evening, Justin sat in his office, the dim light from his desk lamp lighting up long shadows on the wall. His thoughts are sharp and organized. With no room for complacency at this moment. It is time to end it all. Ethan has been a thorn in his flesh for far too long. And Justin knows the only way to truly destroy him is to take away everything that matters to him.As he searched through the documents on the table Mark walked in with a solemn expression. “we have a situation. Ethan is trying to play his last card. Word is that
