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 594 Jamie immediately recalled the history that his grandfather, Great Master Raymond Ashford, narrated to him about his parents. Jamie's father, Michael Ashford, had met Jamie's mother, Elizabeth Oman, in a war-riddled zone where too many dark entities were popping up mysteriously. Elizabeth had been a member of that small community.They must have been the descendants of the ancestors who experienced the advantages of consuming the holy lake water on a much larger scale.Jamie removed the necklace to take a good look at it. “So you're saying the pattern belongs to that tribe my mother came from? The tribe from the war-riddled zone, huh?”Tom nodded his head. “That's what I found. Some crucial details in the records are lost, but from what I gathered, the ancestors of those people possessed a particularly scary kind of power. The mysterious power of black energy and matter.”Jamie sat up straight in his seat. “Tom, I'll need you to retrieve everything you can find on my mother's backgr

Chapter: Chapter 593 Despite how powerful the supreme lords are, their loyalty remains scrutinized through their interactions with members of the Ashford clan, especially the blood-born members.Thus, Julius could only bite back his words and anger as he settled into one of the SUVs, scaring the shit out of the soldiers of the Bridge Crow, as he didn't care enough to keep his murderous intent in check.He mumbled to himself. “Damn it, I should have kept Tom locked up at AONAB for a couple of months longer. Now I'm back to sharing him with that annoying kid. What a bum!”He glared at one of the soldiers sitting tensely beside him. “What are you looking at, huh? You've never seen a petty supreme lord before, huh? How would you feel if your partner is being hugged too affectionately by someone you can't smack upside the head whenever you feel like it, huh?”Supreme Lord Julius Bolt was being shamelessly childish, something incredibly unbefitting of someone of his status. Yet, Julius didn't give a shit. When

Chapter: Chapter 592 Julius cleared his throat loudly and he slung his arm over Tom's shoulder. “I can hear those words, General Stella. You know I can report you for talking shit behind a supreme lord’s back.”Jamie immediately retorted. “As long as you're okay with giving a thorough detail on what you're doing back here, then sure; report my subordinate to AONAB without my consent.”Julius was slightly stunned as he gazed at Jamie. “Wow, you haven't changed, Young Master Jamie. You're still as quick with your jabs as ever.”Tom glared at Julius, harshly shaking his arm from his shoulder. “He wouldn't be like that if you just kept your mouth shut. Also, we haven't even been away from LA that long. Why are you making it sound like…..”Julius shut Tom up with a sudden kiss on the cheek, speaking with a seductive gaze and hush tone. “We just got back, babe. Let's not start arguing again, okay?”Stella gawked at the two before glancing at her young master, and then back at Tom. “Oh! You two are back togethe

Chapter: Chapter 591 On the day Stacy had that meeting with Edward, Jamie ordered one of Stella's lieutenants to report the situation to him in real time. Though he kept his ears out of the conversation between the siblings, making sure to only take notice of everything from a respectable distance.Jamie sat in the private study at the penthouse, listening to the lieutenant's live reports while he was typing away on his laptop, dealing with assignments from his classes for the week.“Report to Young Master, Miss Stacy is starting to look less tense.”“Report to Young Master, Miss Stacy has begun to eat properly with her brother.”“Report to Young Master, Miss Stacy cracked her first smile at something her brother said.”“Report to Young Master, Miss Stacy just clinked her glass of wine with her older brother.”“Report to Young Master,......”The reports came in with the steady voice of that lieutenant. Jamie wasn't the only one in his private study. Stella was there with him.Stella shrugged her shoulde

Chapter: Chapter 590 Stacy took a deep breath. “What about Nathan and Jonathan? Did they know?”Jamie nodded his head. “Of course, they do. They were in on most of the plans.”Stacy gazed up at Jamie with a brief sharpness. “And how are you so sure about all of these? How did you even get your hands on this footage spanning almost two decades?”This was a valid question that Jamie was prepared to answer without ratting himself out. “The Ashford subordinate backing me, Ethan Lincoln.”“I've always wanted my mother's name cleared publicly. Benard had made her countless ridicules a public spectacle through their marriage. You know this.”Stacy's gaze dulled at the truth she knew in those words. “Oh, so you asked the Ashford subordinate to help you retrieve that footage, huh?”Jamie nodded his head. “This was before the truth we know now. Back then, I only wanted to compile evidence of the many of the countless injustices my mom faced at that mansion while she was alive.”“It was recently that a compiled foo

Chapter: Chapter 589 Jamie stared at her for a while before patting her hand one last time and retracting it. “Fine, but in case anything happens, let one of my bodyguards accompany you. I'll arrange your transport.”Before Stacy could say anything, Jamie caught her off guard with a slight glare. “Right now, I'm the only sibling you can trust. Edward might be your blood brother, but he's more of a stranger to you than I could ever be right now. Until he's earned your trust, the security set-up won't be relaxed around him at all.”“This is me making a statement. This is me letting him know that you were never alone despite everything. Any trust I give him, he would have to earn it.”Jamie said all of these to level with Stacy in her decisions, making his respectable but understandably cautious stance super clear. In truth, he knew that Edward could never earn his trust.From his deductions through everything he's gathered, Edward certainly isn't a good person. In fact, whatever secret society Benard, Nath

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
