“Go sleep in the bed,” Felix said coolly.

Miranda glanced at her phone. It was just after midnight. Without hesitation, she made a decision.

She was going home.

Grabbing her coat and draping it over her shoulders, she picked up her phone. “No need. I’ll sleep at home.”

Felix paused mid-motion, halfway through hanging his jacket. Then, without a word, he slipped it back on and said coldly, “I’m leaving.”

He picked up his phone from the bed, pulled open the door, and walked out.

    Miranda walked over to the cabinet and took out her phone.Sure enough, there was a message from Felix from half an hour ago.“I had the hotel send over something for you to eat. You should get some energy back. See you tonight.”Miranda replied, “Thank you.”Felix answered almost immediately.“Did you just come out of the lab?”He must have guessed that she had left her phone in the office.“Yes. I just came out.”“Okay. Go eat first.”Felix didn’t bother her again.Miranda replied with a smiley emoji, then sat down on the couch.After Coco took out the desserts, she immediately picked up a macaron and took a bite. Her eyes narrowed in happiness.“Oh my God, this is so good. Miranda, following you around really does come with benefits.”Miranda laughed at her and picked up a small sandwich.“Then eat more. I can’t finish all this by myself.”“Miranda, be honest with me. Are you and Mr. Gibson getting married again?” Coco asked bluntly.In the lab, only Coco and Adrian

  • Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!   Chapter 1569

    That afternoon, the HR manager personally interviewed the candidate Wesley had recommended.The young woman sitting across from him was named Yara White. She was twenty-four years old, with a master’s degree in finance from a top university overseas. She was beautiful, sweet-looking, and qualified in every area they required.Before the interview, the HR manager had received a call from Wesley, so he understood what Wesley was trying to do.As it happened, the executive office needed an assistant to handle meeting minutes and daily document organization. The work itself was fairly basic, but the position had broad exposure.It wouldn’t look too deliberate, but it would still give her a legitimate reason to enter the core office area and come into contact with senior management.Clearly, Wesley had thought this through carefully before making the arrangement.After all, ever since Felix took over, he had strictly warned all senior executives not to abuse their authority for person

    Wesley, of course, remembered Melanie’s niece.Yara was indeed beautiful and quick-witted. She knew how to say the right things, and people liked her easily. If they really managed to place her inside Gibson Corporation and put her near Felix, she might actually have a chance.“Fine,” Wesley agreed. “Have Yara get ready. I’ll put in a word.”Melanie immediately brightened.“Don’t worry. Yara will be more than willing.”Wesley thought to himself that it never hurt to make an extra move. One day, it might prove useful.As for Melanie, she was already thinking ahead.Miranda might be excellent, but her niece was younger.In her mind, she could almost see Yara marrying into the Gibson family. When that day came, her sister’s family would have to thank her for being such a wonderful matchmaker.The next morning, Miranda went straight to the lab.She had come up with a new idea the night before, and she needed to verify it as soon as possible.She had just arrived at her office wh

    Seeing that Wesley was willing to listen, Melanie continued, “Think about Susan. What does she care about most? The Gibson family line, of course. The company’s future heir. No matter how much she loves her granddaughter, a granddaughter is still a girl. In families like theirs, who wouldn’t want a grandson?”Wesley had two sons himself. That had always been his confidence and his backing.As a man, he understood better than anyone how much a man could want a son.“Go on,” he said.Melanie smiled.“What is Miranda now? She’s a famous scientist, a shareholder of Gibson Corporation, young, successful, and highly respected. She spends every day buried in the lab. How much attention do you think a woman like that has left for family? Do you really think she’d be willing to have another child for Felix and put her career on hold?”Wesley’s eyes lit up.Why hadn’t he thought of that?If Felix remarried, it would naturally be because he wanted another child, preferably a son. But what

    “Get some rest,” Miranda said.She reached for the close button.Outside the elevator, Felix’s voice sounded especially clear in the quiet hallway.“Miranda, I meant everything I said today.”Miranda’s body stiffened slightly. Then she pressed the button and let the elevator doors close without saying anything.*That night, in a mansion in an upscale neighborhood, Wesley had been in a bad mood ever since he got home.He had wanted to call his cousin Susan and complain, but when he remembered that Miranda was her former daughter-in-law, he held himself back.Still, he had embarrassed himself at the shareholder meeting today. At his age, it wasn’t the kind of humiliation he could easily swallow.When Melanie Zimmer saw the look on her husband’s face after he came home, she had asked him several times what was wrong. But Wesley refused to say anything.Now it was already eleven o’clock, and he was still downstairs drinking alone.Melanie put on a robe and came downstairs.“

    “Let go,” Miranda said softly.Felix released her hand right away and only took the glass from her. He drank the water slowly.After finishing it, he still looked visibly uncomfortable. His voice was a little hoarse and tired.“Can I lie down here for a while?”“Go ahead,” Miranda said.There was a thin sheen of cold sweat at his temples and between his brows. It didn’t look like he was pretending.Miranda went to the closet in the bedroom and found a blanket for him.Felix lay back on the couch with a throw pillow under his head and closed his eyes.Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.Keith had personally brought the antacids over.He asked with concern, “Is Mr. Gibson all right?”Miranda nodded.“He’s okay.”After closing the door, Miranda poured another glass of warm water and took two pills out of the package.“Take these before you sleep.”Felix slowly opened his eyes.He sat up against the couch, took the pills from Miranda, and swallowed them with the water she

    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. Mia tilted her head and asked i

    “Watch out!”A figure lunged in from the side and shoved her out of the way. Miranda stumbled forward and dropped to her knees on the pavement. A heavy thud sounded directly behind her.Terrified, she whipped around. Three yards from where she had been standing, Leo was lying on his side on the gr
