Thrilled by Madness (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 117

Yeo Jung, who had just rebuffed So Yeon’s request, lounged back into the plush sofa cushion and struck an arrogant pose—completely unfazed, as if nothing of consequence had happened. Then she swept her gaze across everyone present,

her eyes slanted with resentment, utterly baffled as to why they treated her like a criminal over something as trivial as a mere grandchild.

Yet seeing that everyone’s faces had frozen solid, Yeo Jung grew uneasy—

because nobody seemed willing to take her side.

Her own son was hopelessly smitten with that worthless girl, and even Chairman Gu, who had always been her rock of a husband, turned as limp as an empty rice sack in front of his in-laws. The only person Yeo Jung could truly count on was Chairman Tae, who adored his sister-in-law to a fault.

“Why’s everyone making such a fuss over a childish tantrum? It’s only natural for adults to scold children. Isn’t that right, brother-in-law?”

“Hmm…”

Chairman Tae merely sealed his lips shut after a futile attempt to clear his throat and ease the tension. Instead, Yeo Jin finally exploded with the anger she’d been holding back.

“Cha Yeo Jung! Do you still not grasp the gravity of what you’ve done? Until his very last breath, Father worried about your endless greed and entrusted me with this burden. Yet day by day, you keep choosing ever more despicable acts! I’m so ashamed I can’t even lift my head!”

“Sister, aren’t you the one being unreasonable? Must you say such things right in front of Won Hoo and Seo Jun?”

No matter how aware she was of her own wrongdoing, Yeo Jung’s sharp temperament wouldn’t let her stay silent. Flaring up, she brazenly turned the blame back on Yeo Jin.

“At least you understand you’ve shamed your nephew and your own son—that’s something, I suppose.”

“No matter how much you dote on your grandchild, how can you treat me like this, sister? Why do you single me out as if I’m some rat to be hunted?”

“You ask why? You’ve been coveting what wasn’t yours, and in the end, you shattered an entire family! After that, you should’ve reflected and exercised restraint—but instead, you just stubbornly do whatever you please!”

Despite being scolded and reasoned with repeatedly in private, Yeo Jung showed no remorse at all. As Yeo Jin’s only sibling and blood relative, such disappointment cut even deeper, and she fixed Yeo Jung with a stern, reproachful look—her cold eyes brimming with profound regret.
