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 315 The meeting invitation through the email that Jamie had received did not have any date on it, though there was a range that Chalkers Agency had provided a time frame for Jamie to respond to, giving them a fixed time for which he would be available for the meeting.Yet, the managing team for Arlene Gilliard would have never expected Jamie to come that same day. In fact, Jamie's appearance at the agency building was made mere hours after they sent out the email to him.It should be noted that this was an act of respect made by Chalkers Agency. It took a very brief research on their part to find out that the guy with whom the dating scandal against their artist had unfolded, is no ordinary person.“The young man who went from being nothing to the wealthiest student in Hollywood University.”“The scholarship student, who remains the highest academic performer in the entire university, maintains his grades even after removing himself from the scholarship list, and becomes a fully privileg

Chapter: Chapter 314 Due to the disparity in popularity, there's a procedure that is enacted to ensure that the relationship between the two actors playing the lead roles wouldn't be resisted too hard.Create a compatibility narrative before the production is even announced officially to the world. As long as the fans of both lead actors see these two hanging out together a lot, they will begin to warm up to the idea of them starting in a show together.“That way, by the time the official announcement of the production is made public, the fans would, for the most part, be overjoyed.”Billy nodded his head, now grasping what was going on. “Oh, I see. It's a pretty smart tactic.”Stacy shrugged her shoulders. “It's not something new though. But it works most of the time, so it is quite effective.’Sonia hummed in response. “Unfortunately, with this revelation of Arlene Gilliard dating someone else, the plan is currently falling through the trenches. If damage control doesn't take effect in this situation,

Chapter: Chapter 313 About a quarter of an hour later, General Stella and the member of The Bridge Crow whom she assigned with her on campus duty for the day came over to send these students away, allowing Jamie and his friends privacy once again.Sonia gazed at Jamie for a while. “What are you gonna do about this issue?”Jamie glanced out the empty doorway of the private dining room beige shrugging his shoulders. “I'll have my bodyguards enter the faculty building from now on. Until the hype dies down, and these students calm down, it's best to have Stella and her team close by.”Sonia sighed, eyes focusing more on the handsome face of Jamie. “I meant the situation with Arlene, Jamie? What are you gonna do about that?”Jamie's eyebrows rose slightly before creasing together to form a serious expression as he thought this through. “Well, I'm not really thinking too much about it. I'm sorta leaving the next step in the hands of Arlene herself.”“Honestly, I don't mind whether we go public with our relatio

Chapter: Chapter 312 Jamie had no nervousness, neither on his face nor in his demeanor from the second he arrived on campus with his crew. The second he stepped out of one of his five customized Bugatti Centodieci, worth $19 million each, Jamie had many eyes on him, and yet, none of the casual students dared to approach him.If this were in the past, when Jamie had no status, wealth, or backing, many of the students in his faculty and the neighboring faculty buildings would have rushed over to outright harass him for all sorts of information regarding his relationship with the famous Hollywood actress, Arlene Gilliard.Of course, if this were the past, Jamie, most people wouldn't have believed that someone like him could possibly capture the attention of someone like Arlene Gilliard.Even if the news did confirm it, there would still be a huge weight of skepticism amongst these students, with the logical excuse being used would be that the reporters and bloggers in California have no idea what they're t

Chapter: Chapter 311 A month has passed since Jamie and Arlene Gilliard began seeing one another. It was safe to say that their relationship had been getting stronger as time went on.Arlene initially didn't have much to be worried in terms of the kind of person Jamie is. With the way they met, it was clear that he had no ulterior motive for being with her. Then there's the fact that she's the one who wanted to be with him. Through this one month, they went on multiple dates, and she found herself liking the guy more as they progressed with their meet-ups…..and hook-ups.Arlene found herself getting pulled in by Jamie's aura as a whole. There was just something extraordinarily magnetic about him.By the end of their first month, Arlene found herself falling deeper for Jamie. They went from dates, to spending the night at each other's apartments.With this kind of strengthening relationship, it would likely become harder to hide from the public eye, especially when both eyes aren't alien to the media, ev

Chapter: Chapter 310 Hearing that name, Tyson felt his blood boil on the spot. He muttered to himself with a cold smirk on his face. “What the hell? It's him again, found at the center of a storm that's now affecting me. I have seen this guy for months, and yet, he's still managing to cause me trouble.”He changed called with a tone of self-mockery as he brushed a hand through his hair. After a while, he calmed himself. “Then how did they end up missing?”The heavily built man giving the report was low-key scared hearing the anger sweeping through Tyson's voice just now. But he kept himself in check, believing that as long as he did his job right, he wouldn't lose his life. He diligently replied to Tyson. “Yes, um…..something went wrong during their plan, and those two Succubi accidentally shifted before realizing that the nightclub was filled with a faction of the AS99 Organization. This, they proceeded to escape from the building.”The entire time, Jenna Harlow, being the Higher Sacral Succubus who h

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
