Chapter 36

Author: Baby X
Miranda’s hatred for him ran so deep that when she bit down, the force and fury behind it drew blood.

Felix frowned and released her instantly. Miranda seized the chance to run back to her room and lock the door.

Under the light, Felix stared at the fresh bite marks on the back of his hand, his handsome face turning as cold as ice, his eyes glinting with a sharp chill.

Back in her room, Miranda was still breathing heavily. She knew Felix might have Xena now, but that didn’t stop him from want

    “All right, I’ll let you go then,” Leo said before hanging up.A little later, Hayden called too. “Chairman Gibson, congratulations. It’s been a while, and now you’ve got another title to your name.”His tone carried a trace of teasing, but there was curiosity in it too. “The last time I saw you, your hair was only starting to turn gray. How did it go completely white this time?”“I liked the color, so I dyed it,” Felix said. He was in a good mood today, and even sounded a little more playful than usual.Hayden laughed. “If I were ten years younger, I might actually want to try that myself.” After laughing, he grew more serious. “My wedding is on May fifth. Don’t forget to come.”Felix had, of course, already received the invitation. He had just been so busy lately that the last time they spoke, the conversation had been cut short.“I’ll be there. Congratulations. I’ll make time to come celebrate with you.”Hayden hesitated for a few seconds before speaking again, his tone turni

    Miranda nodded. She had been working upstairs, and she had barely spent any time with Mia all evening. Carrying the plate of fruit, she headed toward the study on the first floor.The moment she stepped inside, she heard Felix’s gentle voice explaining something, followed by Mia’s curious question.“Daddy, does this look good?”“It does. Press a little harder here, and it’ll look even better.” Then Felix added in his usual low, patient voice, “That’s right. Just like that.”Miranda stepped into the study and took in the warm scene in front of her. Something complicated stirred in her chest. Mia was completely focused, her little face full of concentration, while Felix watched her with a quiet, approving smile.Mia noticed her and turned right away. “Mommy!”Felix looked over too, his eyes falling on the plate in Miranda’s hands. “Mia, have some fruit and take a little break first.”“Okay.” Mia nodded happily.Miranda set the plate down on the small table by the desk. Mia exci

    Back in the car, Lily finally let out a breath. “From the way Mr. Warren was looking at you just now, he’s definitely interested. Your plan to get close to him worked.”Xena pressed a hand to her chest, a flicker of discomfort crossing her face. He was a man in his sixties, after all. When he had leaned in earlier, she had caught a faint whiff of age on him.Compared to the clean, crisp cedar scent Felix carried, it made her stomach turn.Lily noticed the look on her face. No matter how lowly Xena’s background had once been, or the fact that she was born out of wedlock, Felix had given her ten years of wealth and status that rivaled what any rich family’s daughter could have had. Deep down, Xena had become proud.“Xena, think this through,” Lily reminded her. “Once you start down this road, there’s no turning back. Since you’ve already made a move on Peter, you have to follow through.”Lily was counting on Xena too. If Xena managed to get close to Peter, Lily’s own career could ri

    Xena had barely been seated for a few minutes when, after getting the restaurant manager’s permission, she rose gracefully and walked over to the piano. Dressed in a white gown, she sat down at the bench and let her fingers fall onto the keys. A flowing, beautiful melody soon filled the room.The diners all paused in surprise. None of them had expected to see a beautiful woman playing piano live, and playing so well at that.Quite a few of the men turned to look, momentarily captivated.Peter’s table was no exception. He clearly froze for a second, then turned his gaze toward the piano.Xena caught it from the corner of her eye. At just the right moment, she looked up and met his gaze. Then she gave a slight nod and offered a perfectly measured smile.Peter instantly felt his mood lift. He called a waiter over, murmured something to him, then went back to watching.When the piece ended and Xena returned to her seat, a waiter approached with a glass of red wine on a tray.“Miss

    Fiona regretted not seeing Xena for who she really was. She had assumed that once Xena married into the Gibson family and gained access to their enormous fortune, she would stop going after the York family’s assets. Instead, before she had even married into the Gibson family, she had already gotten Felix to seize thirteen percent of York Corporation’s shares for her.Fiona was sitting on the couch, bored and scrolling through the news, when she suddenly came across a financial report. There were photos of Miranda with Felix and a group of industry heavyweights. At once, Fiona’s eyes widened with jealousy as she stared at how far Miranda had come.Two years ago, they had both been researchers in the same lab. Now Miranda had walked away with a sixteen-billion-dollar divorce settlement and had shot to the top of the scientific world, becoming one of the leading figures in the field.The man in the photo speaking warmly with Miranda was the chairman of a major pharmaceutical company.

    “It’s Felix, Xena.”Xena took a deep breath and answered, her fingertips trembling slightly. She deliberately softened her voice into something sweet and alluring. “Felix, what made you think of calling me all of a sudden?”These days, even blood draws were being arranged through the lab. She had assumed Felix would never contact her directly again.His voice came through cold as ice. “Yesterday’s test report showed alcohol in your blood. Starting today, and until the experiment is over, you’re not to drink. If your actions affect the progress of the research, you know the consequences.”Xena hurried to explain, “I only had one drink last night while I was out entertaining with my dad.”Felix’s voice was laced with a chill that cut straight through her. “Let me make this clear. If your personal behavior causes any problems with the experiment from now on, you’ll be held fully responsible.”Xena tightened her grip on the phone until her nails bit into her palm. “Felix, are you thr

    Miranda stood up quickly and locked her door.Fortunately, Felix did not come knocking that night, and she finally let out a sigh of relief.The next morning, the piano was delivered. Miranda placed it in the sunroom, adjusted the sound, and sat down to play a piece.“Ma’am, I don’t really unders

    Sure enough, it was Xena. Today she was dressed in a tailored business suit with a pair of sleek silver glasses. The outfit made her look elegant and professional while still exuding mature allure. Standing beside Felix, she looked like the perfect accessory to his polished image.So when Felix sai

    Miranda nodded.“What were you two talking about?” Felix asked, surprisingly curious.“Nothing much,” Miranda replied lightly.Felix frowned slightly but did not press further. He finished his soup while Mrs. Young served him a bowl of risotto. As he ate, he casually called Gigi over. The little

    “Yes.”“No problem. That’s what I do best. I’ll get you the photos within a week, guaranteed.”Miranda decided to test him out first and wasn’t in a hurry to reveal too much.“What’s your rate?” she asked.“I’ll need to see who I’m dealing with first. Can’t give you a quote without knowing your
