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 738 Jamie stared at Kennedy with a resolute expression. “If I have your permission, Sir, I would gladly go down on one knee at this moment and propose to your….”“Nah, I was just kidding.” Kennedy cut the emotionally toned words from Jamie with a casual wave of his hand. “You don't have to be this serious, young man. I just wanted to know if you truly valued my daughter or not.”Sonia slapped her father's arm. “What the heck, Dad?!” Jamie slowly straightened his back with awkwardness. He had just been messed with by this man. Still, he spoke. “Mr. Goodwin, I meant everything I've said about your daughter. I'm letting you know right now that I have every intention of marrying your daughter, and becoming your son-in-law.”Kennedy didn't look at him, taking another spoonful of his light meal. “Then you should be aware that there's a troublemaking suitor who would do anything to marry my daughter. In case you're not aware, this past suitor is the reason my home was destroyed, and I ended up

Chapter: Chapter 737 Back to Meredith,Naomi nodded her head in understanding. “You're right. I also believe that the prime estate's main mansion will get involved, as long as the infighting between you and Young Master Jamie is kept at a minimum.”She wiggled the phone. “However, I'm well aware of your next plans. I don't think you should do it.”Meredith glared at her. “I don't remember asking for your permission, General. You follow my orders. I don't have to listen to yours.”Naomi countered calmly. “But I'm not prohibited from advising you. I'm a General at the six-mega-star level of evolution. You can't shut me up from talking.”Meredith got up and stared challengingly at the older woman. “But as long as you're my head of bodyguard, you have to obey my command.”Naomi nodded her head. “You're right, Young Madam Meredith. But I can easily get my ass transferred out of this role if it becomes too much.”Meredith was furious. She grabbed her phone from Naomi, yelling. “Then what are you waiting for?!

Chapter: Chapter 736 Alessia froze in shock before reaching out to slap William at the back of the head. “We don't even know that for sure! Are you trying to get us killed?!”William shook her off. “Shut up! I don't care anymore!” He stood up as he grabbed a bunch of sharp stones, hurling them straight at Jamie. “There's no way a loser like you is a member of the Ashford clan!” Clearly, William was starting to get erratic. “I refuse to believe Young Madam Meredith would send us to mess with someone far above us!”Jamie didn't hold back anymore. He let each of the thrown stones reach the feet of his body before activating the first ever manifestation he had ever awakened.Telekinesis.William let out a cold breath as he witnessed the sight. Alessia slumped lower on the ground she was still kneeling on. Neither of them could shake off the intensity at which their hearts were racing as they stared at the sight.Jamie didn't even lift a finger. With his sharp will, he sent one of the stones William threw at

Chapter: Chapter 735 True to Alessia's words, Jamie had taken down all twenty soldiers, and he didn't look like he had broken a sweat.He silently evaluated himself. Every single one of his nine activated energy reserves remained full. He didn't use any of them, relying instead on his much superior strength, speed, and agility to take down the opponents.As for his physical energetic reserves, he'd barely used up 5% of them. The soldiers looked miserable, either passed out or too injured to get back up. Their bodies were naturally healing themselves, but each injury was too deep for the self-healing to be instantaneous.Hence, Jamie didn't have to worry about them for a good while, which is more than enough to deal with the two people hiding in the convoy that came after him.Alessia felt her heart drop to the bottom of her stomach. “Holy shit! Is Jamie coming here?! C…Can he really see us through the tinted windshields?!”William wanted to be the voice of reason, but then the thought of Jamie being an

Chapter: Chapter 734 William thought about it long and hard while his eyes could not look away from the scene that sent his heart racing with terror.“No, that's not it! There's nothing special about this orphan loser!”Alessia pointed at the scene with wide eyes, silently contradicting his statement with the reality that was unfolding before their very eyes.William's eyebrows rose as he came up with an excuse he could stomach. “Right! Do you remember the livestream I told you about?! Jamie was highly suspected of using the infamous HL-66 drugs.”Alessia tried to recall what that was. It didn't take her more than a few seconds to put the pieces together. “Wait! You mean the evolution-triggering drugs that have been the greatest threat to the AS99 Organization?! If this loser is using this drug, then shouldn't he be locked up in the tightest security prison on the planet?!”William shook his head. “It was proven false. Otherwise, there's no way he would have been allowed to roam in public without some s

Chapter: Chapter 733 The soldier moved in, trying to close the distance, and he threw tactical punches to get past Jamie's non-existent defense. Jamie moved back, smartly avoiding each strike with a somewhat lazy posture. It was as if he was playing with a child.The soldier felt humiliation burning deep in his heart. “I'm not done!”He attempted to sneak a kick in, but he was met with Jamie's raised leg. The two legs made a loud impact, yet the soldier was the one who felt the intense brunt of it. He groaned as he froze on the spot.Gritting his teeth, he fought through the pain and attempted to land a hit. Jamie caught the man's wrist, and with a teasing smirk, he snapped it.The AS99 soldier screamed for a second before clamping down in his mouth. “Why you….”Jamie was done with him. With a brutal slap, he sent the soldier flying away, crashing straight into one of the SUVs that was used to follow him all the way here. The soldier was struck on the side of the face so hard that he passed out. He went

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
