Thrilled by Madness (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 116

Christmas Eve.

At the family’s ancestral home in Gahoe-dong, Cha Yeo Jin’s birthday celebration dinner was held quietly and simply.

Though they had hosted glamorous parties every year at a hotel filled with celebrities from all walks of life, this year—just days before the new year—Cha Yeo Jin strongly insisted on gathering only close family members for a calm, private celebration.

And that wasn’t all—he radiated a sunshine-like warmth so pure it could disperse even storm clouds and raging waves, making him utterly endearing.

Why did her older sister have such fortune—to possess not only wealth but also such a brilliant child and a grandson like this? No matter how hard I’ve struggled, I’ve never accomplished anything worthwhile.

It was unbearable jealousy that even this well-mannered, cheerful child somehow displeased her.
