Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 1054
Leo leaned back against the couch, the bitterness in his eyes deepening.That trip to Hamilton had made one thing painfully clear to him. Mike’s feelings for Miranda were intense, obvious, and completely unguarded. Unlike him, Mike did not hold back or second-guess himself. All it would take was one yes from Miranda, and Mike would be ready to give her a home.Seeing the look in Leo’s eyes, Hayden ran a hand through his hair. “Then doesn’t that mean neither you nor Felix has any chance at all?”Leo rubbed his brow and shook his head. “Not necessarily. In the end, it depends on what Miranda wants. She’s not the kind of woman who cares about family background.”“With everything Mike has going for him, if he’s seriously going after her, I think it’d be hard for Miranda not to be moved,” Hayden said, seeing it a different way.“I know I don’t have a chance,” Leo said. “As for Felix, that depends on what he can do.”With that, he grabbed the nearest bottle and drank straight from it w

A knowing look flickered in Leo’s eyes. “Felix has always been better than the rest of us at carrying the weight on his shoulders. There’s no question about that. But...” He paused. “He really did hurt Miranda.”Hayden suddenly looked up, as if something had just hit him. Then he slammed a fist against the table. “Speaking of hurting Miranda, I did something stupid too.”A flash of guilt crossed his eyes. Looking back now, he felt like he must have been out of his mind. He had let Xena influence him completely and had even said things to Miranda that never should have come out of his mouth.Leo looked over at him. “You mean Vivian’s birthday?”“Yeah. That night.” Hayden’s face tightened with regret. “I didn’t even want to bother you guys in the first place, but Xena said she had already bought a gift and would leave right after dropping it off, so I took her there.” He paused, then said bitterly, “I was such an idiot. Honestly, I’d bet Xena had a hand in Felix and Miranda’s divorce

The phone rang for seven seconds before she picked up. Xena’s usual voice came through, soft and a little lazy, with that same flirtatious edge.“Hello, Hayden? Calling this late? What’s going on?”Half an hour earlier, that voice would have softened him instantly.Now it only made him sick.So sick that his hand clenched around the phone. He pulled it away from his ear and ended the call without saying a word.Leo watched from across the room and was not surprised. He knew Hayden well. If it came down to cursing Xena out over the phone, Hayden would never do it.Cutting her off cleanly was much more his style.“What’s wrong?” Leo asked, lifting a brow. “You’re not even going to ask her for an explanation?”“She makes me sick.” Hayden tossed the phone aside and dropped back onto the couch. He grabbed his drink and took a hard swallow before continuing. “I’m so disgusted by her I don’t even want to say one more word.”Hayden was so disgusted that he didn’t even want to waste a

Under the lights, Hayden’s face looked pale.For the past seven years, Xena had always been like this with him. In front of him, she would pour her heart out over Felix one moment, then turn around and keep Hayden hanging with just enough mixed signals to stop him from walking away.Every time he was on the verge of giving up, she would throw him a little hope.And then there were all those things she did that seemed careless on the surface but somehow always made her look fragile and in need of protecting.The more Hayden thought about it, the more he felt the helpless anger of realizing he had been played and lied to all along. He tossed back the rest of the liquor in his glass. Then, in the next second, a surge of anger he could not hold down made him slam the glass hard onto the floor.“I’m a complete damn idiot,” Hayden growled, his voice full of pain and self-mockery.He could have accepted that Xena loved Felix and never got him. But the fact that she had also tried to g

Leo’s expression turned more serious. After a moment of thought, he said slowly, “We’ve known Felix since elementary school. Even though we all went our separate ways for school at different points, that never changed how well we know each other. So if you’re telling me Felix and Xena were only in a business arrangement, then my answer to the question you asked earlier is no.”“How is that possible?” Hayden sat up straight at once. “I can tell Xena really loves Felix.”Leo met his eyes honestly. “From what I know of Felix, he’s not the kind of man who would sleep with someone he was only tied to through a deal. Especially not when he was still married to Miranda.”Hayden pressed, “So you think Xena was telling the truth? You really think nothing ever happened between them?”There were things Leo had never told anyone, like the first time he met Xena and how she tried to come on to him afterward. She had tested the waters in a very subtle way, but from that one encounter, Leo had al

“That’s already enough. Felix is probably swamped anyway, so I won’t bother him,” Leo said quickly.“That’s true. Felix really is busy. I’ve been trying to get together with him, and he hasn’t had time.”“Oh? Did something happen? Let me know if there’s anything I can do,” Leo said.“You free? Come grab a drink with me. There’s something that’s been sitting with me all day, and I need to talk it out.”“Sure. Same place.”Leo was clearly frustrated enough to want to get out and blow off some steam.They met in a private VIP lounge on the third floor of a bar downtown. Hayden got there first. A little later, Leo walked in dressed in casual clothes.“So?” Leo asked, curious. “What’s been bothering you all day?”Hayden immediately leaned in a little. “Leo, I want to ask you something serious, and I need an honest answer.”Leo nodded and lifted his glass for a sip.“Do you think Felix and Xena ever actually slept together?” Hayden asked, completely serious.Leo nearly choked on h

Felix stared at his phone for a few seconds before replying.“Stay with her tonight. I’ll come by tomorrow.”Hayden responded almost immediately. “Okay.”*Early the next morning, Mrs. Young was combing Mia’s hair when Gigi, who had been lying nearby, suddenly perked up. Gigi’s ears shot up, and

After the meeting ended, Dr. Williams stayed behind to speak with Samantha privately about the treatment plan.Miranda stepped over to the window for some air. Felix followed a moment later.“I’ve already hired a dedicated post-op nursing team,” Felix said. “You won't have to worry about the logis

Miranda’s fingers paused slightly. She looked at Mia, her voice softening but remaining firm.“Mia, Great-Grandma is getting older. She might have misspoke.”Mia tilted her head, her lips puckering. “But Great-Grandma said I’m Daddy’s only daughter.”Mrs. Young felt her heart race as she listened

Miranda stared at her phone for a few seconds, genuinely surprised. She hadn’t expected Mike to move so quickly. He had already secured the VIP suite.Samantha had already booked a flight for early the morning after next, intending to head to Hamilton for early admission, and VIP suites there truly
