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

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 467 Stella didn't let this man finish his sentence, as she bombarded him with multiple slaps, on both sides of his ugly face.She kept her hand as light as possible, but with someone of her level of physical strength, it was enough to dislocate Bruno Timothy's jaw. By the time Stella was done slapping this man, he had lost a lot of his teeth, and his mouth was filled with blood.Stella looked slightly content seeing this. “I would do more than this, but I don't want you passing out yet. That would end your punishment too early and I would hate for that to happen.”Bruno Timothy had fallen to the ground the second Stella had let him go. He couldn't even feel the pain in his jaw. His face was so swollen that he felt completely numb.He stared down in absolute shock at his broken teeth, his attempted words came out in groans and slurs. He pointed at Stella furiously, mumbling out a bunch of accusatory nothings.Stella scoffed. “Sorry, I don't speak idiotic mumble.”That was it. Bruno Timot

Chapter: Chapter 466 Stella had gone straight to the point of verbally stripping Bruni Timothy naked. This male security guard has blocked Jamie’s car with such boldness that was masked beneath a layer of desperation, because he had the backing to secure his stay at this place.Since Outer Security Bruno Timothy had no idea that the young man in the rear seat of that luxurious car was the representative of the entire Glendon Hills Group, he was confident that they couldn't fire him because of this situation.Even if they tried to fire him, his distant cousin, the senior executive member, would definitely fight to keep him in.This is a fact in Bruno's mind. After all, he's done worse than what he's doing now while he was an inner security guard. He should have been fired and sent to jail back then, but only ended up as an outer security guard, and even got the position of second-in-command.All of these incidents had accumulated an arrogance in Bruno’s mind, assuring himself that he was untouchable.Brun

Chapter: Chapter 465 By the time Stella took one high-heeled booted leg out of the driver's side of the luxurious car, the male security guard didn't know what came over him, as he began shaking.As this man watched Stella's body exit the car, along with her second leg, this man could no longer stay calm as his heart was racing furiously, causing him to sweat and his back became hunched as he couldn't deny the fear that was coursing through him.Of course, this security had no idea that he was under the influence of Stella's murderous intent, and thus, was deeply confused as to why his body was involuntarily acting this way even though his mind was very clear.But then seeing the gorgeous face on this lean but curvy body, this male security guard made himself believe that he was simply stunned by Stella's magnificent beauty.He had never seen a woman this gorgeous before, not in real life. Stella looked like she walked right out of the cover of a magazine, except she's real.How could someone be this bea

Chapter: Chapter 464 Honestly, neither Jamie nor Stella had expected to encounter this kind of situation so suddenly. A male security guard, stationed at the main gates of the Glendon Hills Group's headquarters building, had suddenly run in front of the young master's car.This male security guard didn't run in front of the convoy, he ran in front of Jamie's car specifically, hands held horizontally wide in a 180-degree angle, as he stared at the people inside, who he definitely couldn't see from where he stood, while shamelessly saying those words.“Sir, why did you promote Breanna Clay , instead of someone else?! She doesn't deserve this!”A moment of silence had passed before a trace of murderous intent leaked out of Stella as she glared at the security guard in front of the car. “Has this bastard lost his fucking mind?! He must be looking for a thorough beating.”Jamie had to focus on his general once he felt a trace of her anger. He could see the security guard suddenly shivering despite it being

Chapter: Chapter 463 After this meeting, Chairman Solomon knew that he couldn't keep that young master waiting. Whether their suspicions over the position of Heir Apparent were solidified or not, it doesn't matter, not in this case. Jamie has the emblem of supreme recognition. Two of them. This was something that couldn't be ignored by anyone under the command of the Ashford clan. In truth, this means the entire world. Whether officially or unofficially, the entire planet was under the influence of the Ashford clan, and the emblem of supreme recognition is no different from the patriarch showing up.Therefore, Chairman Solomon was well aware that he had to be very courteous towards this long-lost young master. Otherwise, this matter can lead him into serious trouble, no matter how high his status is in the Ashford clan's prime estate.Disobeying the wielder of an emblem of supreme recognition, is no different from disobeying the command of the patriarch's house, and the patriarch's command itself.The

Chapter: Chapter 462 The chairman of AS-Crows Tech Corps, Solomon Otto, had asked his question. Why should he answer to a young master of the Ashford clan, if it's not backed by any letter of order from the clan's prime estate's main mansion?The chairman of Glendon Hills Group, Jibes Cottonwood, gazed at his colleague with a slight smirk on his face. “Oh? What if I told you that this young master has the Emblem of Supreme Recognition?”Chairman Solomon Otto spat out his drink, choking on it, and having a man rush over to pat his back and check up on him.“Chairman, are you okay?!”Solomon only raised a lazy hand, signaling the young man to step back, which was obeyed immediately.This young man is one of the As-Crows Tech Corps’ prime secretaries, working directly under the chairman. Chairman Jones recalled that this secretary is called Damien. He doesn't pay any attention to him, though, keeping that victory smile on his face as Chairman Solomon calmed himself Seeing this smirk, Chairman Solomon coul
