Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! Chapter 1227
James gave a slight nod and said nothing more. He knew that during her marriage, Miranda had deliberately hidden her ambitions and passions. She had wanted to be a good wife and mother, but that was never where she truly belonged. She was meant to shine in her own field.Maybe Felix understood that now, but it was too late. The Miranda he had come to know was already brilliant in her career. What defined her had never been her marriage into a wealthy family. It was her own talent.Gavin looked at Felix standing there in silence. He had no idea what Felix and James had talked about, but the air around Felix now felt unusually heavy.“Let’s go,” Felix said after a moment, checking his watch. He still had a meeting at Gibson Corporation.Once Gavin got in the car, he glanced back and asked, “Mr. Gibson, are you still planning to attend the Sun Valley meeting this time?”It was a private gathering where some of the most powerful figures in global finance and tech met behind closed doo

That was the day Felix had finally been unable to stop himself from reminding Miranda to be mindful of boundaries. But later, watching the two of them off to the side together, talking so easily and seeming so familiar with each other, had left him in an obviously foul mood that night. It had even spoiled Christmas for him.Felix pulled himself back to the present, but the unpleasant memory still lingered. Now he knew that what Miranda and James had shared was nothing more than a kindred friendship, and he and Miranda were already divorced. Even so, the old unease had never fully left him.Across the table, Gavin noticed that Felix had barely eaten. He couldn’t help thinking that, for a man like Felix, eating in an ordinary cafeteria was probably a bit of a comedown.In a corner not far away, Fiona was staring fixedly at the scene. She had come back to work that day, only to run straight into this.It was bad enough seeing Miranda and James sitting together. What made it worse wa

One piece of news, however, did catch her attention. After York Corporation entered bankruptcy liquidation, its overseas division, which was still performing well, had been acquired by an up-and-coming medical technology company.Before long, York Corporation would cease to exist altogether, and Roger would have no chance of rebuilding what he had lost.At the thought, Xena felt grateful that she had latched onto Peter when she did. At least now she had someone to rely on and a place to land.Her fingers brushed over the oversized diamond ring Peter had just slipped onto her finger. He might have been older, but as long as he could give her the kind of life she wanted, that was enough.What she was really waiting for now was something else. By the usual pattern, Felix should be making some gesture soon. Their relationship might be strained now, but the contract clearly included an annual gift clause, and that was legally binding.This time, she needed to think carefully about what

“Chairman Gibson, there’s no need to be so absolute. Sooner or later, everyone in business ends up needing something from someone else. Damaging the relationship over a woman hardly seems worth it, does it?”“There’s no need for your concern, Mr. Warren. If there’s nothing else, I have a meeting to get to. Excuse me.”With that, Felix ended the call and stepped into the elevator.Back at the villa, Peter stood there with a dark expression, his hand tightening around his phone. He had never liked the arrogance of that young man to begin with, and now Felix had refused him so bluntly, without giving him even the slightest bit of face. It was the first time in years anyone had slighted him so openly.Just then, a soft arm slipped around his neck like silk. “Peter, don’t be upset. You’ve already done more than enough for me.”Peter might have been older, but after decades in business, the competitive streak in him was still as fierce as ever. Felix’s refusal didn’t make him back down.

Miranda glanced at the time on her watch, then said to Felix on the couch, “You should go home and get some rest.”Felix rose to his feet and asked, “Can I take Gigi downstairs with me?”Before Miranda could answer, Mia chimed in, “Daddy, take good care of Gigi, okay?”Felix let out a low laugh. “I will.”He glanced at Gigi, and somehow the dog seemed to understand immediately. Gigi got up and trotted out with him.After Miranda got Mia to sleep, she went back to the study and organized the day’s notes. Her thoughts kept drifting back to Lena. The image of her lifting her face toward the birds in the sky lingered in Miranda’s mind. She must want more than anything to fly again, to return to the career she loved.The thought weighed heavily on Miranda. It made the responsibility on her shoulders feel even greater.The next morning, Felix took Mia to school, and Miranda headed to the lab a little later. It was late spring now, so she left dressed lightly. On the way there, she not

Miranda’s steps slowed slightly.She recognized the young woman. They had only met once, but the impression she had left was unforgettable. It was Lena Scott, the pilot. The last time Miranda had seen her, she had been in the hospital, striking and full of life, with an almost radiant confidence about her.How had she ended up in a wheelchair?Dr. Zeller finished his call and came back. When he noticed where Miranda was looking, he let out a quiet sigh.“She’s the granddaughter of an old friend of mine. She was a pilot with a very bright future ahead of her.” He shook his head. “A real shame.”Miranda couldn’t help asking, “Dr. Zeller, was it a flying accident?”Dr. Zeller’s gaze remained on Lena. His voice turned heavy. “Yes. The accident left her legs permanently disabled.” Then he looked at Miranda with quiet hope. “But if your brain-computer project succeeds, there’s a real chance it could eventually restore full function to her legs.”Miranda’s breath caught. She looked aga

“The new drug’s clinical results look promising. We are still a little short of what we ideally hoped for, but every patient responds differently. Three early-stage patients have already made a full recovery, and that alone is a miracle.”Miranda nodded and steadied her emotions. When it came to he

“I am so sorry, Dr. Warren,” Miranda apologized at once.“It’s alright.” Dr. Warren gave her a kind smile and stepped aside.Miranda ended up standing almost shoulder to shoulder with Felix. Her back went rigid, and the familiar cedar scent he carried made it hard for her to breathe normally.Whe

Miranda looked at him, hoping he would be a little more serious.They held each other’s gaze for several seconds. Then Mike’s Adam’s apple moved, and he quietly made a request that felt a bit bold.“Can I get a goodbye hug?” He paused, then added, “A friendly one. Just a polite hug between friends

“Looks like Felix is in trouble.”Miranda paused for a moment before opening the link. The headline read: “Gibson Corporation Backing York Corporation’s IPO, Allegedly Involved in Secret Bribery of Regulators.”Miranda frowned. She could only think that Felix deserved it.Sophie sent another mess
