Chapter 85

Penulis: Baby X
“No need, Grandma. Really, I—”

Mrs. Gibson Sr. interrupted her firmly. “Felix, did you hear what I said?”

“I heard you,” Felix replied calmly from his seat beside Mia.

Satisfied, Mrs. Gibson Sr. turned to Miranda again. “If he doesn’t buy you something, then I will.”

Miranda hesitated, realizing she had no way out of it now.

After dinner, Mia, always quick to pick up on things, held her father’s hand and said sweetly, “Daddy, you have to buy Mommy a big sparkly gem! Chloe’s mom wears one, and it’s soooo pretty.”

Felix smiled gently at his daughter. “Alright. I promise.”

Miranda followed him out to the car. She had no intention of making this into a big deal. She just planned to pick something small and simple, enough to satisfy his grandmother. If Mrs. Gibson Sr. decided to step in herself, the gift would be far more extravagant.

Felix drove them to a nearby jewelry boutique. As they walked through the entrance, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen, then turned to Miranda.

    Miranda’s expression cooled. “I don’t have time.”Sensing the tension, Ben quickly excused himself. “I’ll step out for the restroom. You two go ahead and talk.” With that, he slipped away.Felix frowned. “I heard that Keith Logan, former vice president of Lincoln Corporation, is now working under you.”Miranda replied evenly, “And what of it?”“He’s capable,” Felix said. “Someone you can trust.”Miranda frowned. Was this really all he wanted to talk about?“My mom and grandma want to see Mia this weekend. I’ll come by Friday afternoon to pick her up,” Felix added.Miranda remembered that Susan had already mentioned this on the phone. She nodded. “All right.”Felix looked as if he had more to say, but his phone rang. After glancing at the screen, he said, “I have to go,” and walked away.Miranda waited outside Ben’s office. Ten minutes later, Ben returned to find her still standing there. He smiled. “Mr. Gibson already left?”“Yes,” Miranda said. “Mr. Zeller, one of the data s

    Online, the narrative around Miranda had completely reversed. People now saw not only the strength and capability behind her gentle exterior, but also Felix’s willingness to stand by her even as her ex-husband.It was clear that the division of eight companies had been the result of mutual agreement between the two of them.In less than three days, Miranda’s reputation had been restored.After laying low for a week, Miranda appeared in the conference room of her largest portfolio company, Moutin Hotels & Resorts. With Keith and Nathan by her side, she took the seat at the head of the table reserved for the president.Keith smiled. “Ms. Stone, today’s agenda includes signing contracts for one coffeehouse and two international restaurants to open on the property. At noon, we’ll have a tasting session for the new dishes and drinks.”The hotel’s general manager, a foreign executive from Frangelia who had worked there for ten years, stepped forward warmly to shake Miranda’s hand. He

    “Mr. Gibson, how do you view the recent online attacks against your ex-wife, Ms. Miranda Stone?”“Would you like to make a statement now?”Felix’s gaze swept across the crowd of reporters, his eyes as cold and intimidating as ice.“Regarding the recent false accusations against my ex-wife, Ms. Miranda Stone, I will be issuing an official statement shortly,” he said. His voice was low and steady, each word landing with force.“Could you say a few words now?” one bold female reporter pressed.Felix’s eyes locked onto her with a razor-sharp intensity. His tone was cool as he replied, “Even if we’re divorced, she will always be the mother of my child. That will never change.”The implication was unmistakable.In just a few words, every reporter present could hear the iron resolve in his stance. Even after the divorce, Felix would protect Miranda without hesitation.Some reporters even interpreted his words as if he were declaring, “She is mine and no one else has the right to harm

    “Miranda, even if you and Felix are divorced, I’m still Mia’s grandmother. Do you really think I would ever harm her?” Susan said sharply.Miranda froze for a moment. “I didn’t mean that. I’ll take good care of Mia. You don’t have to worry.”“Fine. Then I’ll come pick her up this weekend and have her stay with me for a couple of days,” Susan replied before hanging up.Miranda went upstairs, opened her laptop, and logged into her international academic account. She pulled up her research records, three patent certificates, and the research award she had received in Danesia.Then she began drafting a long article with a concise, striking title.“The Truth About My Family, Career, and Divorce.”In calm, factual language, Miranda laid out her journey of independent research. At the end, she attached scans of key evidence, including the official invitation letter from the Danesian lab six years earlier, as well as the signed asset division agreement between her and Felix.Finally, sh

    “Dr. Lewis, Dr. Liam, I’ll handle this myself. I promise it won’t bring any embarrassment to the school,” Miranda assured them.“All right, but until this is resolved, you should suspend your current project. I’ll have Fiona step in for now,” Samantha said.Miranda nodded. At the moment, Fiona was the only one who could take over her responsibilities.After Miranda left, Samantha pulled Fiona aside to discuss the matter. Fiona kept a calm front, but inside she was thrilled.By now, everyone in the lab had heard about Miranda’s divorce, and they sneered at the news that she had taken eight of Felix’s companies. To them, it was nothing but greed.Some even joined in online, fanning the flames from behind the scenes. In the end, academia was its own kind of battlefield, fought without smoke or gunfire. If Miranda fell, her projects would be carved up for others to claim.When Miranda stepped out of the research building, she dialed Leo’s number.“Hello, Ms. Stone.” Leo’s voice was

    Early the next morning, Mrs. Young came back from grocery shopping and told Miranda that several cars were parked outside, blocking the street.Miranda guessed they were reporters waiting to ambush her. She decided to keep Mia home for the day. Around ten o’clock, she got a call from Samantha. The school had received a number of complaint calls, and she was asked to come in.Leaving Mia in Mrs. Young’s care, Miranda headed toward the research building.The moment she stepped out toward the nearby parking lot, sharp-eyed reporters rushed over, cameras flashing as they surrounded her.“Ms. Stone, how do you respond to the reports online?”“Was your divorce from Mr. Gibson planned from the start?”“There are claims that you falsified research. What do you have to say about that?”“People are questioning the validity of your last research achievement. Can you provide proof?”The flashing lights were blinding. Miranda raised a hand to shield her face, unable to move forward.Just t
