Miranda looked at them calmly. “I have nothing to hide.”“Then tell us,” Fiona pressed, her tone sharp. “Is your current line of research and innovation truly your own, or is it based on your father’s ideas?”She added with a mocking lilt, “Dr. Eugene Stone’s research back then was quite forward-thinking too. You really have deep family roots in the field of gene editing.”Miranda’s fingers tightened slightly. Fiona had really gone to great lengths just to undermine her.Samantha finally spoke up. “Fiona, this isn’t the time for that.”“Dr. Liam, I’m not trying to single Miranda out,” Fiona said with a smile. “We just want to understand her research path. Maybe we can learn something too.”Victor leaned back, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Yes, we’re all curious about what makes Miranda so successful. Why not share a little? After all, not everyone gets the privilege of having a father who was an academician.”Miranda stayed calm. “Science has always been about standing on the

Just then, Miranda’s phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen and saw it was James. She answered at once. “Hello, James.”“Mira, I sent the files you asked for. Check your email,” he said.“Got it. Thank you,” she replied.Then, turning toward the man behind her, Miranda said evenly, “You should leave. Don’t interfere in my life again.”Felix’s eyes were as dark as ink. So any other man could show up in her life, but not him? He turned and walked away.Miranda did not relax until she heard him finish speaking with Mia and the sound of the gate closing behind him. Only then did she finally let out a breath of relief.The next morning, after dropping Mia off at school, she headed straight to the lab. Her recent breakthrough still needed repeated testing. The work was tedious and exhausting, but to her, every bit of it was worth the effort.Around noon, Fiona happened to run into Adrian. Normally, she would never bother to approach him first. But today, she made the effort.“Adrian

“Hi, Ms. Stone. This is Mike Lloyd. Mind if I text you?”Miranda glanced at her phone and saw a new contact request. She accepted it.Once she settled into Sophie’s car, her phone buzzed again. She opened the message.“Ms. Stone, I hope you don’t mind me reaching out. My name is Mike Lloyd. I’m twenty-seven, serving as a major general in the Ninth Army District. I’m single and I live a disciplined life. It’s truly an honor to meet you.”Miranda blinked at the screen, caught off guard. Sophie leaned over, read it, and burst out laughing. “See? And you said he wasn’t interested.”Miranda flushed, awkward and unsure what to say. She slipped her phone back into her purse.“Why aren’t you replying?” Sophie asked, incredulous.“I don’t even know what to say,” Miranda admitted. She pushed the phone deeper into her bag.Sophie shook her head as she drove. “He’s the Secretary of State’s son. And a major general at such a young age. He’s as good as it gets. And you’re not even trying to

Miranda checked her watch. It was clear she was getting ready to leave. With a child at home, she was never one to stay out late.When Mrs. Lloyd heard that Miranda had a daughter, she froze for a moment. “Ms. Stone, you’re married?”She had only ever paid attention to Miranda’s professional achievements and had not known about her family life.Sophie quickly stepped in. “Mrs. Lloyd, Miranda is divorced.” She did not want her friend to miss out on a good match.Mrs. Lloyd was taken aback again. How could such an outstanding woman have been unappreciated?“All right,” she said at last. “Then I’ll pass along your contact information to Mike. When he’s back in town, he can invite you both to dinner.” She gave Miranda a meaningful look as she spoke.Mrs. Lloyd admired Miranda’s talent. In her eyes, Miranda was more than worthy of her nephew.After Miranda and Sophie said their goodbyes, Xena also came forward with her purse to greet Mrs. Lloyd. Mrs. Lloyd thanked her politely, then

As Xena stepped off the stage, her steps were unsteady. She had expected someone to come over and offer a few words of praise. Instead, it was as if everyone had forgotten she was there. All attention had shifted to the other side of the ballroom where Miranda stood.“Ms. Spencer, that was wonderful. Would you like some champagne?” a passing waiter asked.Xena took a glass and walked alone to the lounge area. From the sofa, she watched Miranda surrounded by guests. She wished the drink in her hand were something stronger, something that could drown the jealousy burning in her chest.At first, she could not quite put her finger on what unsettled her. Then she looked down at her own hands and finally understood.Her hands could play the piano. Miranda’s hands could save lives. Compared to that, her own seemed pale and powerless.Xena kept her expression calm, but inside she felt not only envy and bitterness, but also a trace of admiration she would never admit.She picked up her ph

Mrs. Lloyd’s voice carried just enough to be heard clearly by the people nearby. Xena’s fingers tightened around her champagne glass, her nails digging into her palm.“The researcher behind the treatment? So it’s her. Incredible,” one guest exclaimed.“Yes. My son was gravely ill at the time, and he only recovered because of that medicine,” another added.In an instant, several women holding champagne glasses began making their way toward Miranda.Xena’s gaze followed, almost against her will, as Miranda became the center of attention. Once nearly invisible at Felix’s side, Miranda was now speaking with the society ladies with quiet confidence. A faint, steady smile curved her lips. There was neither flattery nor arrogance in her manner, only poise.“Ms. Spencer?” A voice interrupted her thoughts. “The emcee is asking you to confirm your performance pieces.”Xena snapped back to herself, realizing she had been standing frozen for far too long. She forced a smile at the staff me
