Author: Baby X
The bidding officially began. Every attendee tonight had real purchasing power. Winning an item required both money and nerve.

Onstage, the auction host enthusiastically introduced the first item, which was quickly claimed by a well-known society matron. One piece after another went by. Ten items were auctioned off in a blur.

Then came the eleventh.

“Lot Eleven,” the auctioneer announced, voice suave and confident. “An early-15th-century blue-and-white porcelain lotus vase, museum-grade and e

  • Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!   Chapter 1630

    “I saw the news this morning too. They were grocery shopping together. They already have a daughter, so getting back together seems pretty much guaranteed.”“With an ex-wife like that, would Felix Gibson even look at another woman? I heard the Chamber set up a dedicated fund for her research and is investing directly in her work. Seriously, who else gets that kind of treatment?”“Miranda is already worth a fortune on her own, and her research career is thriving. No wonder Mr. Gibson can’t forget her.”Some of the whispers still reached Miranda’s ears.She knew that attending an event with Felix tonight meant she would inevitably hear things like this.A little later, Chairman Lowe led his wife through the crowd, clinking glasses and chatting with guests. After that, Felix also took Miranda to greet several highly respected senior figures.“Dr. Stone, I hear your current research could be very beneficial to people our age. I’m looking forward to seeing you succeed.”“Thank you.”

  • Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!   Chapter 1629

    Even after a divorce, a woman like Miranda was not someone people could casually gossip about.The actress adjusted her expression, wondering whether she should go over and introduce herself.After all, someone like Miranda was a valuable connection. If she could get acquainted with her, it would only be a good thing.Just then, a tall, imposing figure walked into the cafe lounge on the second floor of the boutique.He wore a perfectly tailored black suit. His face was strikingly handsome, his presence refined and magnetic, and the air around him carried a natural authority that quieted the room the moment he appeared.The actress’s eyes lit up at once, and she covered her mouth in surprise.Oh my God. It was Felix Gibson.Felix didn’t look at anyone else. He walked straight to Miranda’s table.Miranda looked up when she saw him, and the faintest smile touched her lips.Felix stopped beside her and lowered his head, his voice gentle.“Have you been waiting long?”“No.” Mir

    At noon, Felix cooked lunch.When Miranda saw him go into the kitchen, he was still holding an iPad. He refused to let her help and wouldn’t let her into the kitchen either.Miranda guessed he was planning to learn as he cooked.So she left him alone. She took her phone outside to the swing in the yard and sat there with Gigi, scrolling on her phone while enjoying the sunlight.Gigi dug around in the grass by her feet, then started chasing butterflies, completely delighted.About half an hour later, Miranda caught the aroma drifting from the kitchen.She set down her phone, suddenly curious about what Felix had managed to make.She walked to the kitchen doorway but didn’t go in. Instead, she leaned against the doorframe and looked inside.Felix had his back to her and was busy at the counter. His dark-gray shirt was rolled up at the sleeves, revealing his strong forearms. He was mixing some kind of sauce, his expression focused.Miranda narrowed her eyes slightly.It looked l

    Felix let out a low laugh.“All right. My mistake. You can punish me however you want.”Miranda nearly choked again.Forget it. She wasn’t going to argue with him.Then she looked up and said, “I haven’t cooked in a long time, so lunch is on you.”That was what he got for sending Mrs. Young away.Felix narrowed his eyes slightly.“Do we have groceries? I can cook.”“No.” Miranda had checked earlier. There really was not much left.“Then let’s go to the grocery store later and pick up a few things,” Felix suggested quietly. “We won’t go out for lunch. Let’s just stay home today, okay?”Miranda thought about it.Gigi was almost out of dog food too, and she did not have anything else planned. A quick trip to the store sounded like a nice way to unwind.“Okay,” she agreed.After breakfast, it was still early. Felix cleaned up the kitchen while Miranda settled onto the couch by the floor-to-ceiling windows and turned on a documentary.Her long hair fell loosely around her shou

    Gigi kicked and squirmed in Felix’s arms a few times before he finally set her down. The moment her paws hit the ground, she shook out her soaked fur.Felix was drenched too. His sweatshirt was completely wet, with several clear paw prints stamped across it.Miranda almost couldn’t hold back a laugh. Then she glanced at Gigi, who was already darting around mischievously nearby, and felt both amused and sorry for her.“Your clothes are soaked. Go back and take another shower,” Miranda said to Felix.Felix looked down at himself, then nodded.“Okay. Let’s go.”The two of them, plus one very wet dog, headed back home.Miranda had decided to give Gigi a bath once they got back.On the way back, Felix heard that Miranda was going to bathe Gigi. Since he was already wet anyway, he decided to help wash Gigi first before taking his own shower.There was a dedicated washing station for Gigi in the garden. Miranda brought out the supplies, and Felix crouched down, gently running his fin

    Miranda and Felix walked out of the house side by side.The morning air was especially fresh after the rain, carrying the clean scent of damp earth and grass. The neighborhood was quiet too, with only a few older residents out for their morning walk.They headed toward the neighborhood park, taking in the scenery as they walked. Neither of them said much, but the silence between them felt comfortable.Gigi ran happily ahead, looking back at them every now and then.Walking together like this, peaceful and unhurried, felt almost like stepping back into the past.Only the girl who had once been young and impulsive was different now. She was calm, confident, and carried a quiet strength that made her seem fully capable of standing beside him as an equal.Things were no longer what they had been.And yet, somehow, it also felt like a new beginning.Suddenly, Felix’s hand closed around hers.His gaze lowered to watch her reaction.Morning light danced across Miranda’s lashes. Her

    Sienna tapped away on her phone, sending a message to Xena.“Xena, we’re having dinner later. Come join us!”“What kind of dinner?”“Just my brother and a few of his friends. Leo will be there too.”“Is Miranda going?”“Even if she is, you can still come. What are you afraid of?” Sienna narrowe

    “I’m working. If it’s not urgent, don’t bother me,” Miranda said coldly before ending the call.She was genuinely overwhelmed at the moment. The live sample she had spent two hours cultivating required her full attention to monitor all the data precisely.Tossing her phone aside, Miranda returned

    Out in the hallway, Xena turned to Fiona with curiosity. “Why is Miranda part of your research team?”“You know her?” Fiona asked coolly.“I do,” Xena replied, but she didn’t elaborate.Fiona answered mildly, “Her father, Professor Eugene Stone, was a respected figure in the medical field and a c

    “I bet it’s because she doesn’t have the credentials. I mean, she didn’t even graduate from college. Who’s going to believe someone like that developed a breakthrough drug? What if people see her interview and get scared to take the medicine?”“True. Fiona definitely presents a better image for our
