Chapter 164

Penulis: Baby X
Although they had already signed the divorce agreement, the court had yet to finalize it because the division of assets was still unsettled.

According to Nathan, the process could take at least another six months.

For now, Miranda and Felix could only live apart.

Half an hour later, she saw Felix’s flashy car parked in front of her house.

That space was supposed to be for her own car, so she had no choice but to drive to a nearby hotel parking lot and walk back home.

As soon as she opened the door, she heard her daughter’s happy laughter mixed with Gigi’s playful barking.

Miranda stepped into the living room. Felix was sitting on the sofa, while Mia was on the floor opening a new box of toys.

“Madam, you are back. Sir will be staying for dinner tonight. I am heading to the supermarket now,” Mrs. Young said as she came out.

Miranda stopped her. “No need. Just cook whatever we already have.”

There was no reason to make a special effort for him.

Besides, she had not invited him.

    “Dr. Lewis, Dr. Liam, I’ll handle this myself. I promise it won’t bring any embarrassment to the school,” Miranda assured them.“All right, but until this is resolved, you should suspend your current project. I’ll have Fiona step in for now,” Samantha said.Miranda nodded. At the moment, Fiona was the only one who could take over her responsibilities.After Miranda left, Samantha pulled Fiona aside to discuss the matter. Fiona kept a calm front, but inside she was thrilled.By now, everyone in the lab had heard about Miranda’s divorce, and they sneered at the news that she had taken eight of Felix’s companies. To them, it was nothing but greed.Some even joined in online, fanning the flames from behind the scenes. In the end, academia was its own kind of battlefield, fought without smoke or gunfire. If Miranda fell, her projects would be carved up for others to claim.When Miranda stepped out of the research building, she dialed Leo’s number.“Hello, Ms. Stone.” Leo’s voice was

    Early the next morning, Mrs. Young came back from grocery shopping and told Miranda that several cars were parked outside, blocking the street.Miranda guessed they were reporters waiting to ambush her. She decided to keep Mia home for the day. Around ten o’clock, she got a call from Samantha. The school had received a number of complaint calls, and she was asked to come in.Leaving Mia in Mrs. Young’s care, Miranda headed toward the research building.The moment she stepped out toward the nearby parking lot, sharp-eyed reporters rushed over, cameras flashing as they surrounded her.“Ms. Stone, how do you respond to the reports online?”“Was your divorce from Mr. Gibson planned from the start?”“There are claims that you falsified research. What do you have to say about that?”“People are questioning the validity of your last research achievement. Can you provide proof?”The flashing lights were blinding. Miranda raised a hand to shield her face, unable to move forward.Just t

    That evening, Miranda had Mrs. Young make Mia and Vivian’s favorite dishes: barbecue ribs and a shrimp and egg casserole. She was busy getting the two little ones settled for dinner when her phone rang. Seeing Sophie’s name on the screen, she picked up. “Hello?”“Mira, something’s happened! Someone leaked online that you walked away with a massive amount of assets in the divorce. The public opinion is turning against you.”Miranda’s chest tightened. “How could this happen?”“I suspect someone is targeting you on purpose. Right now, the internet is full of people calling you greedy and shameless.”The first person Miranda thought of was Sienna. It was exactly the kind of thing she would do.She hurried upstairs, opened her iPad, and began scrolling through the trending topics.“Gibson Corporation’s Sky-High Divorce Settlement: Medical Prodigy or Gold Digger?”“Shocking News: Gibson Corporation CEO’s Divorce Leaves Ex-Wife With Eight Companies and a Fortune. A New Corporate Pred

    On her drive home, Miranda received a call from Sophie.“Somehow a media outlet dug up the story. Now the entire internet is reposting news of your divorce, and it has sparked a wave of speculation.”Miranda smiled faintly. “It was bound to come out sooner or later.”“The reports haven’t mentioned anything about the division of assets, so they must not have the details yet,” Sophie added. Then she offered reassurance. “Don’t worry. This kind of hype dies down in about three days. It won’t affect your life.”Miranda agreed.When she arrived at school to pick Mia, she noticed Leo’s car parked by the gate. As she stepped out, he opened his door as well.“Mr. Lincoln,” Miranda greeted him.“I read online that you’ve already filed the paperwork?” Leo asked with narrowed eyes.Miranda nodded. “Yes. The documents have been submitted. Once the cooling-off period is over, the divorce will be finalized.”Leo blinked slowly. “If you need help with anything, you can come to me anytime.”

    Miranda no longer seemed to care about Sienna’s words. She gave a bitter laugh. “If I could live my life over again, I would never make the same foolish mistake.”Sienna scoffed, about to snap back, when she suddenly noticed a tall figure striding toward them from the end of the hallway. Her eyes lit up. “Felix!”At the sound of his name, Miranda’s body stiffened slightly, though she did not turn around.Felix approached slowly, his gaze pausing on Miranda’s back for a brief moment before shifting to his sister. “What are you doing here?”“Felix, I only came to ask her why she has the right to take eight of your companies!” Sienna said angrily.Felix’s brows furrowed, his tone cold. “This is between her and me. You don’t need to get involved.”Sienna froze, clearly not expecting that response. “But—”“Go back,” Felix cut her off, his voice leaving no room for argument.Biting her lip, Sienna cast Miranda a resentful glare, then finally turned and left.The hallway fell silent.

    In the elevator, Sienna clutched Susan’s arm. “Mom, do you know something you’re not telling me?”“In the future, don’t bring this up in front of Miranda again. What’s done is done, and we’ll just have to accept it,” Susan said firmly as she stepped out into the lobby, pulled open the car door, and got in.Sienna watched Susan’s car pull away, then gave a cold laugh. “Miranda, do you really think the Gibsons are that easy to push around?”She checked the time. If she wanted to track Miranda down, she knew exactly who to ask.That person was Fiona, who worked with Miranda and happened to be in Leo’s circle as well. Sienna had taken the initiative to add her contact recently.After she sent a message, Fiona quickly replied.“Miranda’s at a meeting in DE Corporation. You can find her there.”*Inside the DE conference room, Miranda was in the middle of a meeting when a knock came at the door. A moment later, Sienna walked in, her tone commanding. “Miranda, come out here.”Miranda
