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!

The bullet was embedded in her arms and the heat threatened to melt her flesh, muscles, and even her skeleton.The head of the security guards was left in great shock, as so was every single one of the security guards who had just witnessed what had happened but couldn't make heads or tails of how this was even possible.First of all, by the time they had realized that Jamie had even lifted his gun to pull the trigger, Edette was already on the ground making guttural screams. They couldn't understand how Jamie was that fast.Those security guards who were around long enough to witness the suffering of Jamie and his mother, were even more shocked. Jamie had an endurance physique but they had no idea he could be that fast.Then there was the effect of the bullets. Gordon Bricks had rushed over, kneeling next to Edette to check on her wound. But the woman wouldn't stop thrashing and screaming out loud.Something was very wrong

Chapter: Chapter 543 To be honest, Jamie didn't expect that staring so closely at this godforsaken place would bring up emotions he thought he had come to terms with.He nodded his head. “Good. Then I won't have to worry about guilt when I'm done with this place.”He whispered to himself. “Mom, this one is for you.”He then began walking towards the doorsteps of the mansion, with Stella and her soldiers right behind him.The security guards were all pointing their rifles at the group casually strolling closer to the mansion. One of them, an older man who looked to be the head of the security, one that Jamie didn't recognize, yelled out. “Stop right there! Put your weapons down and surrender before this gets ugly for you and your bodyguards!”At that moment, Jamie could see Bernard Reynold walking out with Edette Mendoza on his left side and Gordon Bricks on his right side.The sight then opened another floodgate of anger within Jamie. That's right! Edette was also one form of the many humiliations his

Chapter: Chapter 542 Stacy nodded her head. “I'm with you, Jamie, all the way.”Sonia didn't need to say anything. “If there's anything I can do to help, let me know, okay?”Jamie smiled at her before kissing her forehead. “Thank you, baby.”Billy and Stacy smiled at one another. They were really happy that Jamie and Sonia finally saw what they've always seen in them for the longest time.Intensely passionate attraction.After Jamie was done eating, he announced that he was leaving campus.Stacy was slightly worried, though. “You're going to the mansion, aren't you? I'll come with you, stop dad if he tries to do anything crazy with you.”Jamie shook his head. “I'm not alone anymore, Stacy. I'm going with Stella and my bodyguards. I'll be fine, okay?”Stacy wanted to reason with her brother from another mother, but she also understood that this kind of confrontation was inevitable. The ghost of the past was about to be called upon, and Jamie was skating her away from witnessing the chaos that would unfol

Chapter: Chapter 541 Stacy's eyebrows lifted as she took a good look at the item. “You're right! That's her necklace! I always see it around her neck! She had always looked so beautiful with it. But….”Billy could see Stacy getting a bit tense, so he gently held her hand, using his thumb to caress the back of her palm. “But what? If you have something on your mind, say it. No one here will judge you.”Stacy actually couldn't look Jamie in the eyes when she spoke. “I did notice that Mama Elizabeth would hide that necklace in her dress, or take it off to put it away whenever she's near my dad.”“I've caught my dad hitting Mama Elizabeth whenever he catches sight of that necklace on her.”Hearing those words, Sonia and Billy easily understood why Stacy was hesitant to speak at first. They all glanced at Jamie to find him clenching both his fists, as well as his jaw as he turned his face towards the floor-to-ceiling windows they were sitting near.Jamie was aware that his mother used to be physically, verbal

Chapter: Chapter 540 Billy was definitely tempted by that offer. “With my family's influence, I'm sure I can persuade the university’s disciplinary board to deal with those five.”Jamie picked his chest of friends. “You have gotten a taste of power, and now you feel like you're on top of the world, huh?”Billy shamelessly nodded his head. “Of course! If there's anything being a student at this institution has taught me deeply, it's that power is everything in this world. Otherwise, you will become a doormat for others.”Stacy caressed Billy's face and said with a soft tone. “Just don't let your newfound power get to your head. I hope you'll always remember who you are, and not lose yourself, okay?”Billy's demeanor softened as he gazed into Stacy's eyes and nodded his head ever so slightly. “I promise.”Sonia couldn't help but smile softly at her boyfriend before she recalled what had happened in that hall. “So tell me. If I hadn't intervened, what would have allowed that girl to do to you?”Jamie sighed

Chapter: Chapter 539 Sonia walked over to place her arm between Amanda's approaching chest and Jamie's arm, pushing her back casually. “Who told you Jamie is single, huh?”Amanda took a couple of steps back as a deep frown formed on her forehead. A premonition washed down on her at that moment, and she didn't like what she was picking up on. “What do you mean by that question?”Sonia gave her a table ass smile before reaching out to grab Jamie's face with both of her hands, pulling him down so he could kiss him intensely.Jamie was only caught off guard for less than a second before he reached out to wrap his arm around his girlfriend's waist and pull her closer to his body, returning his kiss with great passionThe crowd gasped at first, but then they burst into cheers.“Holy shit! They're dating! The forest pair on this campus are actually dating!”“Is this really real?! I can't believe my eyes!”“Right?! They've always been a visual pair, but I never thought they would be real one day! Sonia has been

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
