Chapter 209

Author: Baby X
“Grandma, we want tea too,” Sienna said.

“Why don’t you take Ms. Spencer to your room instead?” Mrs. Gibson Sr. replied. She had no intention of letting Sienna interrupt her conversation with Miranda, nor did she want Xena adding to Miranda’s discomfort.

In her mind, the divorce between Felix and Miranda was in no small part connected to Xena. She resented his poor judgment. How could he give up a capable, devoted wife like Miranda for a woman whose motives were clearly self-serving?

  • Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!   Chapter 1203

    Fiona bit down hard on her lip and headed for the restroom, planning to collect herself. But the moment she stepped into one of the stalls, she heard a few coworkers walk in.“Did you see the news about York Corporation? I heard the whole family’s about to go under.”“With all the scandals that came out before, I’m still surprised they ever made it onto the market.”“It’s not just bankruptcy. The reports are saying there may be serious financial crimes involved. Somebody could end up in prison.”“So much for Fiona’s little heiress image. Look how full of herself she used to be.”“She used to act like she was above everyone else. Now? She’ll be lucky if she doesn’t end up drowning in debt.”Inside the stall, Fiona clenched her jaw and fought to keep it together. These were the same people who used to flatter her and envy her.Now they were taking cheap shots while she was down.And she didn’t even have the nerve to step out and argue with them.Once she got back into her car, s

    Mrs. Young called Mia off to take her bath, and Miranda started downstairs as well. By the couch, Felix had already picked up his suit jacket and draped it over one arm, clearly getting ready to leave.As Miranda came down, she said, “Thanks for staying with Mia.”Felix looked at her quietly. His voice was low and serious. “Miranda, from now on, I’ll take care of Mia. I want you focused entirely on your work.”Miranda stopped short. She caught the unusual weight in his words at once. Standing a few steps away, she looked straight at him. “Tell me the truth. Does this project involve someone very important?”Felix met her gaze. He was silent for a moment, as if weighing how much to say. In the end, something heavy settled into his expression.“Yes.”Miranda’s pupils tightened almost imperceptibly. “Who?”“The former vice president,” Felix said quietly. Then he added, “You can’t tell anyone.”Miranda went still.When the former vice president had suddenly vanished from public vi

    Miranda pushed the shopping cart while Felix carried Mia in his arms. Around them, people glanced over with curiosity or open envy.A few people from the business world recognized Felix right away. That full head of white hair had practically become his trademark.Who would have thought that a man with his status and wealth would have time to shop with his wife and daughter?Even though Miranda was his ex-wife, the scene still made plenty of people assume they were a family of three.When they got back to Miranda’s top-floor duplex, Felix carried Mia inside as naturally as if he belonged there. Miranda still had a mountain of data to go through, and she wanted to make time for Mia when she could, so she said to him, “Do you have time to stay with Mia for a while? I still need to work.”Felix nodded. “I’m free all evening.”“Okay. I’ll let Mrs. Young know.” Miranda went to the kitchen first and asked Mrs. Young to make one more serving for dinner.Felix changed his shoes and he

    When Fiona got home, neither of her parents was back yet. She went straight into the bathroom and scrubbed at her skin so hard it hurt, as if she could wash off the filth still clinging to her.For now, all she could do was take things one step at a time. Until she was truly backed into a corner, she couldn’t afford to turn on Victor.As York Corporation’s crisis continued to spread, more bad news broke by evening.Miranda was out shopping with Mia. Up ahead, Mia was happily picking things out, her little ponytail bouncing as she moved, bright and adorable.A few steps behind Miranda, Gavin and two of his men blended into the crowd, quietly watching everything around them.Shopping at the grocery store was relaxing. Miranda’s soft gaze followed Mia’s lively little figure. Mia had stopped in front of a shelf of chocolate, her eyes full of longing. Then she turned back to her mother.“Mommy, can I get one chocolate bar?” she asked, quickly holding up one little finger in promise. “

    Even though Fiona wanted Victor dead, the moment he brought up her father going to prison and her own reputation being ruined, panic finally set in. She couldn’t let him destroy the last thing the York family had left.There was madness in Victor’s eyes, but there was fear there too. He wasn’t a naturally vicious man. He was educated. He had once been young, capable, and full of ambition. But life had driven him to this point. And with the evidence he held over Roger, whatever love he once felt for Fiona had long since twisted into something ugly.More than anything, he wanted Fiona to give in and agree to be his girlfriend. He had wanted her for six years, and some foolish part of him still believed the two of them could end up together.Fiona bit down hard on her lip. The situation in front of her forced her past anger and into cold, hard clarity. She knew she couldn’t provoke Victor, not now.To keep him calm, and to buy time for both herself and Roger, Fiona took a deep breath

    Fiona froze in the middle of taking a sip. Avoiding his eyes, she answered more quietly than before, “That was so long ago. Why even bring it up now?”“Long ago?” Victor gave a short laugh and leaned back against the couch. “Do you know what I lost because of you? I had a real future ahead of me. I could have gone into research. But for you, I gave all of that up. I got expelled, and there’s a permanent stain on my record because of it. And you, Miss Fiona York, never seemed to feel even the slightest guilt. If anything, afterward you just wanted me as far away from you as possible, like I was some nuisance.”Fiona’s face flushed bright red. She took another sip of water and forced herself to stay calm. “Victor, I was grateful. Didn’t I get you a job at my father’s company afterward? You even made it to vice president...”“Do you know how I got that vice president title?” Victor’s voice suddenly rose, filled with resentment that had clearly been building for years. “I drank until

    Miranda closed the window, started the engine, and drove away without giving Xena a single glance.As her car disappeared, Fiona came walking out of the lobby with her bag. She opened the door of Xena’s Ferrari and settled into the passenger seat.“I just ran into Miranda,” Xena said as she starte

    The smile on Miranda’s face faded. She turned away, looking elsewhere.Leo let out a quiet laugh. “I was just praising her for smoothing things over with your shareholders.”Felix’s gaze shifted to Miranda’s profile, his expression cooling. “It was impressive.”A brief, heavy silence fell between

    “I support investing in the brain–computer program. It’s easily the most promising project we have,” one of the senior shareholders suddenly said, his voice full of excitement.Several others nodded immediately. Their expressions made it clear they agreed.Felix smiled and gave a short nod. “Good.

    Miranda frowned slightly. Ben’s explanation only half-convinced her. She decided she would take a closer look at the robot herself before forming an opinion.She hung up the phone and returned to the living room just in time to see Mia happily playing with the robot.
