Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 30
Miranda’s eyes turned cold as she looked straight at Felix.“I don’t want to hear any explanations, and I don’t want to argue. If you want to go out, just go. My head’s killing me. Stop bothering me.”With that, she turned and headed upstairs.Felix froze for a moment, then walked to the door and left.The heavy slam echoed through the house, followed by silence.After a long nap and a sweaty fever break, Miranda’s temperature finally came down. She went downstairs and started cooking a pot of chicken soup. Just then, the front door opened.Mrs. Young stepped in, looking anxious.“Ma’am, you’re sick?”Miranda paused. She figured Felix must have called Mrs. Young back from her holiday.She smiled faintly. “Yeah. Just a cold.”“What would you like to eat? I’ll make it right away.”“Can you help with a few sides? The soup will be ready soon.”“Of course. I’ll get started.” Mrs. Young quickly tied on her apron and got to work in the kitchen.Miranda skipped the visit to Susan’

Miranda let out a cold laugh and turned around. “Xena, you and I both know whether that was really an accident.”“What are you trying to say?” Sienna snapped. “Are you actually accusing her of pushing you?”“Sienna, that’s enough,” Felix said coldly, standing up and walking over.Sienna bit her lip and backed off.Felix looked at Miranda. “Are you alright?”“I’m fine,” she replied, turning her face away.“Xena just got over a cold. If anything, she’s the one you should be worried about,” Sienna muttered from the side.“I’m okay,” Xena said gently, covering her mouth with her hand as she gave a delicate cough. “I just swallowed some water, that’s all.”Felix glanced at Xena with concern, then turned back to Miranda. “I’ll take you home.”“That won’t be necessary,” Miranda said briskly. She turned to a hotel staff member. “Please throw out my wet clothes.”Then she picked up her bag and walked over to Leo. “Thank you again, Mr. Lincoln.”Just as she reached the door, Xena stag

Miranda froze.Inside the suite, seven or eight people sat around the table. There were both men and women, dressed in elegant evening wear. At the head of the table sat Felix, looking relaxed and composed in a sharp, tailored suit. Beside him was Xena, wearing a striking burgundy gown that shimmered under the warm lights. Together, they looked like a picture-perfect couple.It was immediately clear that this wasn’t a Gibson family dinner. It was Felix’s private event.Miranda caught on at once. Her expression hardened as she turned to Sienna. “You could’ve at least told me what kind of dinner this was.”Sienna paused, caught off guard. She had only meant it as a spontaneous prank, but now she wasn’t sure how to recover. Miranda’s pointed tone left her feeling exposed, and a flicker of embarrassment crossed her face.“I was just being nice and invited you to dinner. What’s with the attitude?” she said defensively.Xena stood up with a smile and walked over. “Miranda, you’re alr

Mrs. Gibson Sr. insisted on giving the card, and Miranda knew that if she refused again, Mrs. Gibson Sr. would surely get upset. She finally accepted it, making a silent note to return it after the divorce.After dinner, Sienna went out to meet friends. Susan and Mia settled in to watch a movie in the living room. Felix was there too, scrolling through his phone. Miranda came down the stairs, already thinking about how she could bring Mia home with her.“Mia’s going to spend the night here,” Susan said, holding Mia close. “You two go on home.”Miranda glanced at Felix. She hadn’t driven that day, so if he wasn’t heading back, she would have to call a cab.“Mia, are you sure you don’t want to come home with Mommy and Daddy tonight?” Felix asked gently.“I’m sleeping with Grandma tonight,” Mia replied cheerfully, still munching on fruit.Miranda gave her a warm smile. “Be good, sweetie. Mommy will come visit you tomorrow.”“Bye, Mommy and Daddy!” Mia waved.Miranda waved back and

Felix turned without a word and went to get the first aid kit.Miranda dabbed the bleeding with a tissue. When Felix came back, he knelt down beside her and picked up some gauze to stop the bleeding.As he reached for her wrist, Miranda instinctively pulled away.“I can do it myself,” she said quietly.“Let Felix help you,” Mrs. Gibson Sr. said firmly from the side.Miranda stood up. “Grandma, I’ll just go rinse it.”“Let Felix go with you,” Mrs. Gibson Sr. insisted.“She’s not a child,” Felix replied indifferently, standing up and walking out.Mrs. Gibson Sr. was fuming. She nearly picked up a bouquet to swat him with.“She’s not a child? She’s your wife! Can’t you show a little care and concern, you ungrateful brat?”Felix stood at the doorway with one hand in his pocket and muttered, “Serves her right.”Mrs. Gibson Sr. didn’t quite catch that. “What did you just say?”“It’s fine, Grandma. It’s just a small cut,” Miranda said with a faint smile.She walked to the sink, c

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
