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 712“Sir Lincoln, these are Alessia Clover and William Homer. You had instructed that I extend an invitation to them.”Ethan snapped his fingers, his face brightening up as he recalled it. “Oh, the Homer and Clover kids who've been giving my Jamie problems.”He took a good look at their nervous faces. “So that's you two, huh? Welcome? Please, have your seat.”Needless to say, William and Alessia were slightly stunned by this man's rapid change in temperament. One second he was utterly dismissive of them, then seemingly welcoming in the next second.Once they were settled, Ethan spoke. “Tell me, who sent you to shake up my adopted son's reputation on campus?”The mood had changed again. Alessia and William stiffened the second their buttocks sank into the comfortable cushions. It was happening again. This man's voice now carried a hint of displeasure.Alessia cleared her throat. “Um, Sir Ethan, we don't know what you're….”Ethan's voice had dropped to an icy deep, while somehow still maint

Chapter: Chapter 711 William thought about this question thoroughly before standing up with a straight back, resolution on his face. “What else can he do to us, other than try and reason with us to get along with that adopted son of his? It's not like he can hurt us or anything.”“First of all, he's way older than us. If he hurts us, it would be called out as bullying. Using his status to oppress the children of two lower-tier families. Our family will turn this against him.”Alessia nodded her head with a calmer expression. “Sir Ethan should know better than that, right? So… he wouldn't get back at us, right?”William nodded his head firmly. “I mean, it's not like we ended up getting Jamie expelled as we planned.”The reminder of his recent loss stung his heart greatly, and he grabbed the bottle of whiskey from the table, throwing it across the room in great anger. “Damn! I can't believe Jamie managed to humiliate us?! What the fuck are we gonna tell Young Meredith?!”Alessia looked worried at that ques

Chapter: Chapter 710 In the end, the professor cleared his throat and walked right back to the podium, and he had arrogantly descended from it. In a university filled with many powerful people, maintaining an aura is an important criterion for surviving here.With what had happened today, the professor had definitely lost face. As the professor returned to teaching, Jamie smiled triumphantly at William and Alessia, who wore ugly expressions. He had let this go, but he knew that the damage was already done. Jamie didn't have to do anything; the students did it for him. The incident involving the professor, William, Alessia, and the Honorary Child of HU spread across campus like wildfire, with new versions layering over the original, drowning out the facts of the incidence.Within two days, the professor was found to be colluding with senior staff members to humiliate Jamie. Apart from how personal this was, the board of trustees could not simply look away as this had involved the Honorary Child of this

Chapter: Chapter 709 Jamie's emotional state has long been hard to decipher ever since everything changed about him. He simply shrugged his shoulders. “I never said that. You were the one who translated my words like that. Professor, I'm just making sure that you don't credit someone else for an answer I provided according to your question.”William slammed the table, pointing at Jamie in anger. “I see! Just because you're affiliated with Sir Ethan Lincoln, you really believe everyone else is beneath you, huh?!”Jamie didn't spare the angry guy a glance. “Again, I never said any of those words. You're interpreting words I already made clear with your own limited lens of thinking. That has nothing to do with me.”The professor’s heart was racing. His superiors had tasked him to humiliate Jamie. He was already doing so, and he had to get the job done.He pointed at the class exit with fury. “Get out! I don't want to see your face in my class!”Another silence passed before Jamie replied, his voice retainin

Chapter: Chapter 708This was no problem for the professor. In fact, this was the outcome he was hoping for. “Very well, since no one is volunteering, I'll pick another student. I refuse to believe Jamie is the only brilliant student within the faculty of the most prestigious University in the United States.”He pointed at Alessia. “Miss Clover, since you boldly stood against Jamie, I believe you know the answer.”Alessia sneered. “Of course, I do.” She cleared her throat and gave an answer, pointing out a detail that Jamie had missed during his own answer. She then proceeded to highlight that key difference.The professor felt relief wash through him. With Alessia’s more accurate answer, there's a much lower chance of him being accused of stirring trouble in his own class. “Perfect!” He clapped his hands loudly. “Let's give a round of applause to Miss Alessia!”The entire class slowly but surely clapped loudly for Alessia. In the meantime, William cleared his throat. “Do you see that, Jamie. It's only a

Chapter: Chapter 707 It took Billy a few seconds before his eyes widened slightly, his hands balling into fists. “Seriously, two new students made a professor bully the Honorary Child of this university on the first day? I know they come from mighty backgrounds, but come on, you also have the backing of an even greater man.”Jamie sneered. “Then that means there's more to this. Either way, the professor is waiting for me to fail somehow.”Billy glared at the professor slightly. “What do you say? I can deal with the professor myself. There's nothing wrong with a student calling out a professor's biased behavior, right?”Jamie hushed his best friend slightly. “Don't. Let's see how things play out first.”Billy became curious as to how Jamie intended to deal with this situation. Soon, the professor called upon Jamie once again. Jamie got up and gave an unexpected answer, one that the professor easily translated as the wrong answer.The professor almost chuckled with a mocking tone, but he poorly managed to

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
