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 374 General Stella reminded Jamie not to get overconfident. He was always a brilliant strategist, knowing when to take on the offense and defense in the midst of a heated battle, especially with an opponent that was clearly stronger than him.General Stella tilted her head. “You’ve always been self-aware of your limitations, and how to play it in your favor. What happened today? And as much as I would like to blame it on your overconfidence in your evolving body and power, I highly doubt it's just that. You seem…. distracted.”At that moment, Tom walked over to them with towels in his hand. “Of course, the young master is distracted. He just broke up with his girlfriend, and is now living in the same penthouse with his new crush.”“The romantic lifestyle of such a vigorously charming young adult must be filled with distractions at a time like this.”Stella stood up from where she was sitting with a shocked expression, eyes shifting from Tom to Jamie. “Young Master, is this true? You've b

Chapter: Chapter 373 Tom's father hummed in understanding after listening to his son. “I see. It's definitely weird that there are that many S-Rank dark entities within the city. This is an emergency that would need to be firmly related to the patriarch.” “What about AONAB? Have you reported this to General Atorro?”Tom nodded his head. “He's aware of the situation. He replied to me, about some slight dysregulations in the dimensional cracks. According to him, the higher dark entities are becoming smarter with how they sneak through these gates.”“There are tens of major cracks in the dimensional walls around North America that General Atorro and AONAB are working overtime to contain. On my side, only the Higher Sacral Succubus and her coven are still hidden within California. The Strigoi has been dealt with.”“To be more specific, the incarnation of the Strigoi has been eliminated. But that's just one. The creature itself is still in the dark realm. We're not sure if the creature still has the strength

Chapter: Chapter 372 Jamie was definitely getting stronger, but still, he was fighting a five-star general who hadn't stopped evolving either.Though Jamie had three types of abilities - Telekinesis, white flame spears, and lightning arrows, he still wasn't fully a match for the experienced general.Stella utilized three blue flame whips to even the ground in this sparring challenge. The fact that she was raising her flame whips to their hottest degree already shows how powerful Jie has become, despite being at the one-mega-star level of evolution, four mega-star levels below her.Jamie used his telekinesis to make strong offensive attacks, while also shielding himself from the versatile blazing whips that move with insane speed and swiftly shift in size and intensity.Jamie shook her head, face full of sweat as he held back the spinning attack of one of General Stella's flame whips. “Honestly, the amount of control you gave over your ability is terrifying, to say the least.”Stella was also sweating, bu

Chapter: Chapter 371 The room grew in slight tension as Arlene walked towards Sonia in the living area. She stood with a straight posture that mimicked that of the Wablo Corporation heiress.She took a good look at Sonia before slowly smiling with a light head nod as she murmured to herself. “I can see what he likes in you.”Sonia tilted her head in confusion. “Sorry, I didn't catch that.”Arlene shook her head with a widened smile. “Nevermind. Miss Goodwin, please, take care of Jamie. He's….gonna need someone around him, and I see no one else perfect for the job than you. But I'm sure I don't need to tell you that.”Sonia struggled to come up with a reply but she couldn't utter a word. Her head had chosen this moment to betray her, and it was empty.Arlene walked closer to Sonia and placed something in her hand before whispering to her. “Goodbye.”She then turned and walked swiftly out of the penthouse. Sonia was left dumbfounded as she looked down to find that it was the key card to the main entrance o

Chapter: Chapter 370 “Am I part of the sacrifice-worthy people in your life?”Arlene couldn't help the tears sliding down her face as she nodded her head slowly. “I'm sorry that I'm unable to place you as a higher priority, but my career comes first, Jamie.”She shook her head. “I don't know how I did it. What exactly have I done to earn this level of favor from Glendon Hills Group, to the point that they were willing to buy me from my former agency at such a high amount, amongst the many other magnificent benefits they've given me, but I don't wanna waste a single bit of that effort.”“Jamie, building my acting career isn't just for myself, but for every person and agency that has and is still currently putting effort into me. I want to be proud of myself, and I want others to be proud of me as well.”“I've decided that dating won't be my true priority for now, and thus would last for as long as it needs to be for me to keep growing as much as I can.”Jamie understood what this meant. Every date that Ar

Chapter: Chapter 369 It was super quiet in Jamie's room, with both Jamie and Arlene sitting across from each other, one at the edge of the huge bed, and the other on one of the couches near the floor-to-ceiling windows.Arlene stared at Jamie for some minutes before she spoke. “I wanna know. Is there something between you and Miss Goodwin?”Jamie gazed up at her before shaking his head. “No, what you walked in on us doing was an absolute misunderstanding. I would never cheat on you, Arlene. I already confessed that I love you, and I mean that.”Arlene wore a soft smile as she needed her eyes. “I know. But you being in love with me doesn't mean that it's exclusive, right?”Jamie tilted his head. “What do you mean by that?”Arlene’s smile widened, but there seemed to be a look of pain in her eyes. “Can you promise that you have no actual feelings for Sonia? Within the month our relationship had gotten stronger, you've been nothing but truthful to me, Jamie.”“Therefore, whatever you tell me right now, I wo

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
