All Chapters of They Think I'm Trash, I'm Their Worst Nightmare: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I hid the killing intent that clung to me like a second skin.I wore a cheap shirt and accompanied Noelle Sutton, who was three months pregnant, as she returned to the Sutton family to reunite with her biological parents.Three years ago, I was injured in an attack near the border. Noelle found me and took me in, nursing me for three days and nights until I recovered.Now that she had finally found her birth family, all I wanted to do was to quietly stand beside her, see her through this reunion, and make sure she was safe.The Sutton estate had set up more than 20 tables for the occasion. The guests coming and going were all prominent figures in Hyton.Afraid Noelle might be nervous, I took her hand and led her to a quiet spot in the corner.Her palm was damp with sweat, and her fingers clutched tightly at my sleeve."Zane, if my parents say anything hurtful later, don't take it to heart."I nodded and tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear. "Don't worry. I'll stay here."

The guests whispered amongst themselves. "I heard he's just some washed-up ex-soldier with no money, no connections, and no one backing him. He must really have a death wish by acting this way.""Just wait until the Sutton family's security gets here. He'll be lucky if he even gets out alive."Noelle was so frightened she clung tightly to my chest. She buried her face against my back, saying in a trembling voice, "Zane, let's just leave. I don't want to be part of this family anymore. Let's just go home."I patted her hand, keeping my voice gentle. "Don't be scared. As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you."I looked down at Kenneth, who was still writhing on the floor. My expression remained completely calm.He dared to lay a hand on my family, so really, a broken leg was letting him off easy.Fred was so furious that his lips trembled. He pulled out his phone and made a call, yelling at the top of his lungs, "Get every security guard over here! Bring the batons! Beat him unti

"Without you, the Sutton family would have gone bankrupt long ago. There wouldn't be anything left of us," Robert lamented. "You gave the Sutton family a chance to survive because of Noelle, yet these blind fools actually dared to insult you…"His eyes reddened as he spoke, then he turned around and slapped Fred across the face.The sharp smack rang throughout the hall.Fred staggered back from the force of the slap, his face swelling up in an instant.He held his cheek, staring at his father in disbelief. "Dad, how could you hit me?""Hit you?" Robert trembled with rage. "I ought to beat you to death, you ungrateful bastard!"He pointed at Fred, yelling, "How do you think the Sutton family got to where it is today? Because of that mouth of yours that does nothing but kiss up to people? Or because of that useless son of yours?"One word from Marshal Latham can pull us up to the heavens, and one word from him can just as easily drag us down to hell!"Instead of being grateful, y

"The Sutton family owes you this much," Robert said solemnly. "And the only way the family can survive is if everything is placed in your hands."He turned to me, his eyes filled with pleading. "Marshal Latham, what do you think?"I was silent for a moment before nodding."Fine."Only then did Robert let out a sigh of relief. He immediately instructed the lawyer to prepare the paperwork.The surrounding guests exchanged glances. They all had the same thought—the Sutton family now had a new head.…Robert was nothing if not efficient. Less than half an hour later, the lawyer returned with a thick stack of documents.Robert personally laid them out in front of Noelle, keeping his tone respectful. "Noelle, these are all of the assets under the Sutton name, including company shares, real estate, and investment funds. The total value is approximately 13.7 billion dollars."Sign here, and all of it will be yours."Noelle stared at the documents before her, still at a loss.Just a

"Keep someone on her tail. Don't let her cause any trouble," I ordered."Yes, sir."After I ended the call, Noelle looked up at me, her eyes filled with concern. "What happened?"I smiled and stroked her hair gently. "Nothing. Just a minor issue.""Really?""Really. Don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you."Only then did Noelle relax, resting her head against my shoulder again.When we got home, I carefully laid her down on the bed and tucked her in.She held onto my hand, whispering, "You'll always stay with me, right?"I squeezed her hand, answering solemnly, "Always. I swear."Smiling, she closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.I watched her sleeping face, warmth filling my heart. This woman had endured too much because of me.From now on, I wouldn't allow any suffering to touch her again.The next morning, I was awoken by the shrill ringing of my phone.When I answered, Robert's anxious voice came through. "Marshal Latham, bad news! Maeve is missing!"I
