Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 124
“Felix gave me a month to find a matching bone marrow sample. James, can you help me? You have connections overseas we could use.” Miranda looked at him earnestly.James nodded without hesitation. “Of course. I’ll do what I can.”That afternoon, a meeting was called. Dr. Lewis personally presided over it, announcing that Samantha would be taking over the project.“I want to rebuild the team,” Samantha said coolly, her eyes sweeping across the room.Miranda’s breath caught.“For now, I’m confirming James, Fiona, and Victor. As for the rest, I’ll decide after a round of evaluations,” Samantha continued.Fiona smirked, shooting Miranda a sidelong glance. Just as she expected, Miranda had been excluded.“This project is fully funded by Gibson Corporation, and I intend to enforce strict standards for the research team. Only those with at least a bachelor’s degree will be considered.” Samantha’s eyes lingered on Miranda, pointedly.In the entire room, Miranda’s academic standing was

Miranda fixed her eyes on him. “Why?”“I’m doing this for your own good,” Felix replied coolly.In that moment, Miranda understood. He wanted her off the project so she wouldn’t have access to her mother’s donor sample, afraid her emotions would interfere and slow down his precious research.She drew in a sharp breath. “The person you’re trying to save… is it Xena?”Felix’s brow tightened.He didn’t need to admit it. Miranda already knew. The realization stabbed through her chest like a blade.A bitter laugh escaped her lips. “You want to use my mom’s bone marrow for your experiments? I’ll never agree to it.”“I’ll give you one month,” Felix said. “If you can find a matching donor within that time, I’ll return your mother’s sample. If not, stay out of this research.” With that, he turned and walked away.Miranda swayed on her feet. Her hand shot out to brace against the wall as searing pain spread through her chest.That night, she held Mia close as her daughter slept soundly

“I’ll have the staff prepare a private room for you. You should eat something,” Felix said.“No need, I—”“You’re prone to low blood sugar. You need three meals on time,” Felix cut her off, then turned to a waiter. “Show this lady to a private dining room. Put the bill under my name.”“Yes, Mr. Gibson.” The waiter smiled and led Xena down another hallway.Miranda returned to the private room. Sienna shot her a displeased look and didn’t bother to meet her eyes. Moments later, Felix walked in.The table was covered with dishes. Mrs. Gibson Sr. turned to him. “Felix, serve Mira some soup first.”Just as Felix moved to oblige, Miranda stood. “Grandma, I can do it myself.”“You look after Mia. Let Felix do it,” Mrs. Gibson Sr. insisted.But Miranda didn’t let him. She ladled a bowl of soup on her own and helped her daughter drink it.“Everyone, dig in. These are all new dishes tonight, so try them and see how they taste,” Susan said.Sienna sulked. She had wanted to bring Xena al

Miranda stepped out into the lobby before answering Sophie’s call.“Hey, Sophie.”“I’ve finished drafting the divorce agreement. I sent it to your email. Look it over and let me know if anything needs changing.”“Got it. Thank you,” Miranda replied.“Don’t thank me. Helping you get free from a miserable marriage is exactly what a friend should do.”Miranda smiled faintly. Just then, another call came in. She glanced at the screen and saw James’s name.“Sophie, I’ve got another call. I’ll see you tomorrow.”“Go take it,” Sophie said, hanging up.Miranda answered the next call. “Hi, James.“The files are in the bottom drawer of the office cabinet. Why haven't you left work yet?” she asked with concern.“I’m planning to go over the evidence again tonight. The trial’s tomorrow, and I want to be ready.”“Okay. Just don’t stay too late. Try to get some rest,” Miranda urged gently.“I will. Thanks,” James replied with quiet gratitude.When Miranda hung up, she turned and nearly c

“I will,” James said with a nod. He then brought up the matter of the sample, and Miranda’s expression instantly tightened. “I haven’t spoken to Felix about this yet. My mother donated her sample to help medical research, but if it ends up being used to save Xena, I cannot accept that.“I’ll find a chance to talk to him and try to convince him to give it up,” Miranda said.James thought back to Felix’s expression the other day. He doubted Felix would give in so easily. After all, Miranda’s mother’s sample matched Xena’s gene profile, something almost impossible to find anywhere else in the world.That evening, Miranda was expected at a Gibson family dinner. She left the research building around three o’clock to head home. Felix was picking up their daughter, so she had asked him for the restaurant’s address and drove there on her own.By six o’clock, Miranda pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant. She grabbed her bag, stepped out of the car, and reminded herself that tomor

“Coco, don’t make decisions on your own again, understand?” Fiona shot her a sharp look, clearly blaming her for pushing her into that interview the other day.Coco froze, then stammered, “I’m sorry, Fiona. I… I didn’t mean to.”“Just go. I need to work,” Fiona said coolly.Coco muttered to herself, “You sure didn’t seem unhappy when you were soaking up the spotlight in that interview. Now you want to pin it on me?”By ten o’clock, everyone in the lab had received an invitation for a celebratory lunch. Lucas had arranged the budget to treat Miranda in honor of her award, booking a restaurant across from the medical university.At eleven, Lucas stopped by Miranda’s office with good news.“The Gibson Corporation just approved an additional bonus for you. Six million,” he announced.Miranda blinked in shock for a moment, then nodded to herself. Given the enormous profits the new drug had already brought the company, a six-million bonus was only logical.This time, she wasn’t going
