Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 1171
“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

“Alright,” Miranda replied.At that moment, the private room door opened. Felix stepped out holding Mia’s hand. When he saw how relaxed and cheerful Miranda looked on the phone, his gaze swept over her with a chill. So this was her big “work trip.” She seemed to be busy dating too.“Mommy, my ha

The two girls exchanged a look, frozen in embarrassment. Their faces flushed a deep red. “Oh sorry. We misunderstood.”Mike nodded politely and glanced out the window. The prettier girl backed away awkwardly and whispered to her friend, “So he is into a single mom.”They finished their food quickl

The next day at one in the afternoon, Miranda was in her office organizing data reports when a nurse knocked on her door.“Dr. Stone, Dr. Zimmer would like you to attend a meeting upstairs.”Miranda nodded. “Alright, I’ll be there right away.”Although Miranda was technically a researcher, people

Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Samantha said, “Come in,” and Miranda walked in with a stack of files in her arms.Fiona’s gaze snapped toward her, jealousy sparking visibly in her eyes.Miranda froze for a moment when she saw her. “Dr. Liam, I’ll come back later.”“No, Miranda, come in.”
