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 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 368 Sonia immediately took a couple of steps as soon as she realized the kind of situation she and Jamie were found in when his girlfriend walked in on them.Jue also noticed this, and he cleared his throat. “Hey, Arlene? W…What are you doing here?”Arlene looked a bit pissed off by that question, and she couldn't help but reply with a sassy attitude. “Um, what kind of question even is that? I have the password to this penthouse, remember? You gave it to me ever since we became official. You said I could….”Jamie finished those sentences for his girlfriend. “...Come in whenever you want to. Yeah, I remember that. That's not what I mean though.”While speaking, he moved towards Arlene. “It's just that I've been trying to get in touch with you for days now, and you've been busy.”Arlene’s eyes couldn't stop dancing from Jamie to Sonia. “Oh! Yeah, um….It's just well….I….uh…”Unable to take it anymore, Arlene clapped her hands. *Ohay, um, babe, I think you need to go change out of that first

Chapter: Chapter 367 Arlene already had the password to enter Jamie's condo when they confessed their love to each other in the past. This was a day before their scandal exploded online and in the entertainment media.Jamie had returned from training in the underground facility, perfecting his fighting abilities as well as his control over his evolving telekinesis, white flame spears, and lightning arrows. He had taken a shower when he recalled that he had left his phone in the living area.With a small towel around his waist in his rush to go get it, he forgot that he wasn't living alone in the penthouse these days.As Jamie walked into the living room, Sonia walked in from the roof terrace in a seductive bra and panties, a small towel drying out her long, wavy, and wet hair. Obviously, she had just returned from having a blast in Jamie's outdoor swimming pool. The infinity pool.The two froze within a few feet of one another, not expecting to find each other here. Sonia had decided to dip in the outdoo

Chapter: Chapter 366 Benard was stunned to learn of this as well. “Hold on! Carson Biotech! As in the company worth merely 25% of my family's agency?! Why on Earth would Stacy be…..”He turned to Nathan with a look of displeasure. “You allowed my daughter to date such a loser like that?! Have you lost your mind?!”Nathan was unshaken in the slightest, shrugging his shoulders as he took another bite of his meal. “So? What could I possibly have done about it?”Jonathan nodded his head. “Dad, you seem to be forgetting that Stacy is above the age of eighteen. She can date whoever she wants. This is not the medieval era where you can control her life.”Benard snapped at his youngest son. “Shut, you dimwit! I'm not talking to you!”Jonathan pretended to be hurt by this insult. “Oh, come on, Dad. It's not like Stacy is planning on marrying that loser.”This shut Benard up instantly. As rare as it was, Jonathan had his moments delivering brilliant lines. This was one of them, and he couldn't find a word to count

Chapter: Chapter 365 Benard was in shock for a moment. “What the hell are you talking about?! Are you messing with me right now?!”Edette giggled as she reached out to caress her lover's hand across the table. “Baby, what are you talking about? Why are you even surprised about this? This is the only child of the white woman who managed to fool you for the first few years into marrying her and making her the madam of your house.”Edette Mendoza's voice carried a heavy tone of disgust, making it clear that she never liked Elizabeth Oman and her son. She had been dating Benard years ago, while Elizabeth was maltreated by her husband.At the time, Edette Mendoza was the mistress, and the betrayal of Bernard’s action, the infidelity, was one of the many things that affected Elizabeth tremendously, eventually causing her health to deteriorate to the point that she was hospitalized. Cancer got the woman roughly around the time, and without the barest of support from her husband or the Reynold family, she died.

Chapter: Chapter 364 Hours later, Tyson arrived at the Reynold's mansion with a convoy, stepping out with a grand air that made the employees bow to him. He was truly a man who knew what he was worth. If only these people knew just how insecure a man Tyson Crook actually is.Bernard, Nathan, and Jonathan had all changed into nicer outfits. Everywhere was even more spotless than usual, as to give the grand guest a most pleasurable welcome to this household.Bernard stood in front of his two sons as the mansion's main entrance doors were opened for the grand guest to walk into. “Welcome to the Reynold family's house, Mr. Tyson! It is a pleasure to have you here!”The second Tyson stepped into this building, he felt a strong sense of familiar energy radiating in here. As a man born into the accumulated luck of others, and dealing with dark entities himself, he had grown quite perceptive to the presence of other dark entities as well.Tyson couldn't tell whether the Rey old family was unaware of this, or th

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
