Chapter 25

ผู้เขียน: Baby X
In the second photo, Xena was getting an IV drip, nestled sweetly against Felix’s arm. His suit jacket was draped over her shoulders to keep her warm.

In the third, Felix was holding an umbrella, walking side by side with Xena in the light rain. She was still wrapped in his jacket, and he had one arm around her.

“Miss Stone, these photos clearly suggest your husband is having an affair,” the private investigator texted. “Don’t worry. I’ll keep tracking him. I’ll update you the moment I have anything new.”

“Got it,” Miranda replied calmly. She saved the photos in a private folder on her computer, quietly preparing for the divorce.

The days grew colder, and soon, New Year’s Eve arrived.

At 9 a.m., Susan called to urge Miranda to bring Mia over early.

Felix came downstairs in a casual suit, picked up the car keys, and carried their dressed-up daughter out the door.

The streets were full of holiday cheer. Twinkling lights wrapped around the trees, and shop windows were decorated wit

    The plane took off smoothly. Miranda spent the flight reading comics with Mia, while Brandon used the time to write code.Four hours later, the jet touched down at a military airfield surrounded by mountains. When the cabin door opened, Miranda stepped out with Mia and saw Mike waiting below the stairs in full uniform, holding a bouquet of flowers.“Welcome to the Ninth Military District,” he said with a smile, offering the bouquet to her.“Thank you,” Miranda replied, genuinely grateful.Mia peeked up at him, wide-eyed and a little nervous. “Uncle Mike?”Mike crouched down so he was eye level with her. “Mia, welcome to my territory.”His tone was warm and respectful, which seemed to calm her. She blinked at him and asked in a tiny voice, “This is your territory?”“That’s right,” he said with a soft laugh. “You can do anything you like here.”He stood and turned back to Miranda. “It must have been a long trip.”“It wasn’t bad,” Miranda said.“Come on. I’ll take you to your qu

    “I’ll send someone to pick you up,” Mike said.“You’re sending someone for me?” Miranda sounded genuinely surprised.“Yes. My people will be at your door at ten tomorrow morning. They’ll take you to the airport, and you’ll be at our base in about four hours. We’ll see each other then.”“Thank you. I’ll be bringing Mia with me, so I may trouble everyone a bit.”“We understand. It’s not easy for you. Once you’re here, I’ll help you take care of her,” Mike replied, his tone warm and gentle.It was a rare opportunity, and Miranda also wanted Mia to see more of the world. A visit to a military research base was not something most children ever got to experience.She began packing. Mia was thrilled. Around eight that night, Gigi suddenly barked excitedly at the front gate, tail wagging hard. Mrs. Young took one look and knew exactly who was outside.Sure enough, the security camera showed Felix standing at the door.She opened it. “Good evening, Mr. Gibson.”“Is Miranda home?”“She

    Miranda never liked attending routine department meetings, so while everyone else was focused, her mind was already on the technical handover she needed to handle with Jacob later.She did not react when Ben called her name. The department heads all turned to look at her. She was still jotting notes, completely unaware she was being addressed.Ben cleared his throat and raised his voice. “Miranda.”This time, she heard him.She looked up, suddenly aware that the entire room was staring at her. She froze for a second.Across the table, Felix’s lips curved almost imperceptibly.Ben jumped in to smooth things over. “Never mind. Miranda’s probably exhausted today. We will skip the summary.”Colin stepped in at that moment. “Mr. Zeller, Dr. Gordon is requesting an urgent video call.”Ben checked the time and nodded. “Alright, we will end the meeting here. Miranda, Brandon, and a few others stay. Everyone else is dismissed.”He then turned to Felix. “Mr. Gibson, would you like to re

    Miranda stared at Felix's retreating back, feeling a surge of anger rise straight to her chest.She stepped into the elevator and immediately stiffened when she realized he was still inside. He leaned against the handrail with his phone in hand, not even bothering to press a floor. Miranda walked in anyway, pressed the button for her office, and chose the spot farthest away from him.When the doors opened, Ben nearly ran straight into them. Seeing Miranda and Felix walk out together, he froze for a moment.“Mr. Gibson, Miranda, were you two—”“We have a meeting at two,” Felix said, cutting him off. He slipped one hand into his pocket and walked toward the conference room without breaking stride.Ben stepped over to Miranda instead. “Miranda, thank you again. If you hadn’t gone up there, the whole presentation would have crashed and burned.”Miranda’s expression cooled. “Ben, next time this happens, ask Mr. Gibson to handle it. Not me.”Ben paused, caught off guard, then gave a s

    Miranda frowned. “You don’t even know what you’re saying.”“You knew I’d embarrass myself, didn’t you? You set me up on purpose!” Fiona’s voice suddenly broke into a sharp, hysterical cry.The entire restaurant turned to stare. Xena and Sienna hurried forward, each grabbing one of Fiona’s arms.“Enough, Fiona. Let’s go,” Xena said firmly, wrapping an arm around her waist to pull her away.Sienna’s face flushed with embarrassment. Leo was watching them, his expression unreadable but calm.Fiona glared at Miranda, her thoughts spiraling. The more she replayed the day in her head, the more convinced she became that Miranda had orchestrated everything. She pushed her to take the stage, knowing she would crumble. And she had fallen right into the trap.Miranda met Fiona’s hateful stare and said evenly, “Fiona, you asked for that opportunity. If you couldn’t handle it, you can’t blame anyone else.”Xena exhaled sharply. “Miranda, I apologize for Fiona. She’s not in the right state of

    Sienna let out a quiet sigh. “There’s no point being upset now. Miranda has already stolen the spotlight.”Xena shot her a sharp look. “Sienna.”That was enough to make Sienna fall silent. Xena turned back to Fiona and patted her shoulder gently. “Don’t lose heart. There will be other chances.”But Fiona knew there wouldn’t be. Even if she spoke at another event someday, it would never be a stage as big as this one.Out front, Miranda was already moving into the most critical part of her presentation. The room had gone completely silent. Many in the audience were snapping photos and taking notes, their faces focused as they listened and analyzed her every word.Felix watched her from the first row, his expression unreadable. Whenever she spoke about her work, she radiated confidence and brilliance from every angle. She barely glanced at her slides, speaking almost entirely from memory. The screen behind her was simply a guide for the audience to follow along.He had almost forgot
