Chapter 492

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 1724

    Felix looked at her, and his eyes reddened instantly.“Are you sure?” His voice trembled. “You’re really willing to marry me again?”Miranda couldn’t help smiling.“Well, if you don’t want to, then…”“I do.”Felix pulled her back into his arms, his voice turning hoarse.“I do. Of course I do.”Miranda leaned against him and nodded.“Have you really thought it through?” Felix asked again, as if he was afraid she might change her mind.“I have. You’re rich, you’re handsome, you’re Mia’s biological father, and you’re good in bed. I don’t want some other woman getting that deal.”She said it with a completely serious face.Felix burst out laughing.“Are you sure you’re being serious?”Miranda’s lips curved.“As serious as it gets.”Felix took her hand and kissed it.“Then I get to call you my wife again.”Miranda felt as if something had struck her heart.Sunlight slipped through the curtains and fell over them.“When we get home, we’re going straight to the courthouse,”

    “It’s okay now.”His voice was hoarse as he stroked her back and comforted her softly.“I’m here. I came to get you.”Miranda closed her eyes, and a tear slipped down her cheek.She had truly been terrified that night.But the thought that he was coming had somehow given her endless hope.In the hallway, rescue workers began evacuating guests floor by floor.Felix held Miranda’s hand and led her outside.The moment many of the guests stepped out of the hotel, they looked as if they had just survived a nightmare.Then Miranda saw the hotel lobby.More than a dozen bodies were covered with white sheets.Her heart grew unbearably heavy.And how could that sight not leave a lingering fear in Felix’s heart too?This terrorist attack had only been limited in scale.If it had been larger, he didn’t dare imagine the consequences.There were bullet casings and bloodstains scattered across the floor.Felix pressed her face gently against his chest.“Don’t look.”Miranda nodded

    The glass on the desk toppled from the force of the blast and crashed to the floor.Outside the window, shrill alarms went off one after another, mixed with screams and cries.On the other end of the call, Felix’s voice changed instantly.“Mira, what happened?”Miranda crouched down to pick up her phone, her voice tense.“I think… I think there was an explosion downstairs.”With that, she took her phone to the window and looked out.Sure enough, thick smoke was billowing below. People were scattering in every direction, running for their lives.Then another explosion went off.The glass windows buzzed violently from the impact.“Get away from the window,” Felix said sharply. “Listen to me. Stay in your room for now. Don’t go out. I’ll have the security team come upstairs to find you immediately.”Miranda’s heart was pounding. The hand holding her phone trembled slightly.“Okay. I’ll stay in the room,” she promised.“I’m contacting them now. They’ll get you somewhere safer.

    Miranda had been working on the documents for so long that her head felt heavy and foggy.She stood, then leaned into Felix’s arms.Felix wrapped one arm firmly around her waist and slipped the other beneath her knees, lifting her easily into his arms before carrying her toward the master bedroom.The moment they stepped inside, he lowered his head and kissed her.Outside the window, the night grew deeper.The bedroom light was warm and soft.Felix seemed to have a particular fondness for keeping the lights on. Miranda had complained about it more than once, but he clearly had no intention of changing.Spring had arrived.Everything was coming back to life.And somehow, everything felt especially beautiful.*Time passed quickly, and before long, May arrived.The weather had turned warm and bright.Everything had gradually fallen into place.Haley’s condition was now stable, and she had already been discharged from the hospital. Just last week, Miranda had taken Mia and F

    Professor Carter’s voice was aged, but warm.Felix gently squeezed Miranda’s hand, silently encouraging her.Miranda stepped forward and said, “Professor Carter, it’s an honor to meet you. I’m Miranda Stone, Eugene Stone’s daughter.”Professor Carter looked up at her, his gaze gentle, almost grandfatherly.“You look like him,” he murmured. “Very much like him. Especially the eyes. There’s strength in them.”Felix greeted him as well.“Professor Carter.”Professor Carter nodded kindly and patted the chair beside him.“Come sit, both of you.”Of course, Professor Carter knew who Felix was. Over the years, Felix had invested in many research projects. To Professor Carter, he was a man with vision, judgment, and a rare understanding of what science needed.Then Professor Carter turned his attention back to Miranda, his eyes full of warmth.“Tell me about your research, Miranda.”Miranda nodded.She started with the foundation of her theory and explained her work step by step.

    Miranda smiled, then grew serious.“The Aurora Prize has strict nomination rules. You can’t nominate yourself. It has to come from someone who’s qualified to submit a nomination.”“I know.” Felix nodded. “Only certain people are eligible to nominate candidates. I’ve already reached out to a few of them. Dr. Zeller and Dr. Lewis are both willing to recommend you. They’re leading names in the field.”Then he paused, a faintly mysterious smile in his eyes.“But more importantly, guess who else agreed?”Miranda blinked.Seeing the look in his eyes, a thought suddenly came to her.But she didn’t say it out loud.“Just tell me.”“I think you’ve already guessed,” Felix said. “Your dad’s former mentor, Professor Sam Carter.”Miranda’s breath caught.That name carried enormous weight in the medical world.Sam Carter was one of the pioneers of neuroscience in the country, and one of the few scientists here who had ever been nominated for the Aurora Prize in Medicine.More importantl

    In the quiet exhibition hall, Miranda’s phone suddenly buzzed. She glanced at the screen and immediately declined the call without hesitation.Leo turned to look at her. “You’re not answering?”“Just spam,” Miranda replied casually.A few seconds later, a message came in. Miranda glanced again. I

    Miranda’s expression darkened. Anger surged through her stomach and up her chest. What sort of manipulation was Felix trying to pull now?Felix narrowed his eyes slightly. “You might want to think it over. And to be clear, I am not forcing you to sign.”Miranda let out a dry laugh. “I don’t care w

    Leo was taken aback. “Mom, you reached out to her first?”“I just gave her a call.”“Mom, try not to impose on her like that again. She's very busy with work.” Leo reminded her quickly.On the other end of the line, Haley could clearly hear how protective he sounded. She was surprised. Since when

    To hear what Haley might say, Sienna pretended to take a phone call and quietly slipped behind a nearby tree.Leo turned around just as Haley approached. His shoulders tightened. Even though her attitude had softened recently, he still could not predict her thoughts. He had no idea how she truly fe
