작가: Baby X
Xena turned to Miranda with a faint smile. “Miranda, if you really want that necklace, I’ll let you have it. No hard feelings, okay?”

Miranda looked slightly taken aback, her eyes meeting Xena’s with calm precision. There was a calculating glint behind that smile.

“I don’t care for things I don’t value. You can have it,” Miranda replied coolly, her gaze drifting briefly to the man standing beside Xena.

The meaning wasn’t lost on anyone.

Felix narrowed his eyes, studying Miranda’s expression

  • Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!   Chapter 1187

    The night was deep and heavy.At the airport in the early hours of the morning, Felix strode quickly toward the Gulfstream G650 waiting for him. Gavin hurried along behind him, already on the phone arranging pickup details in Hamilton.Once inside the cabin, Gavin chose a seat close enough to be available, but not so close as to intrude. He quietly watched Felix’s expression.It was grim in a way he almost never saw.For the moment, he had no idea what had happened in Hamilton.At two in the morning, the Gulfstream G650 touched down smoothly at Hamilton International Airport. The cabin door opened, and Felix stepped down the stairs. Waiting beside the plane were three black sedans, with several middle-aged men in black suits standing beside them.“Mr. Gibson, this way.” The man in front stepped forward, his tone respectful.Gavin instinctively moved to follow, but two other men blocked his path with outstretched arms.“Sorry. Mr. Gibson only.”Felix looked back and gave Gavin

    Miranda nodded. “It does.”“Aunt Sienna drew it with me,” Mia said happily.Just then, Mrs. Gibson Sr.’s voice drifted down from upstairs. “Miranda’s here?”“Grandma,” Miranda called back in greeting.“Miranda, are you in a hurry to leave? If not, come upstairs and sit with me for a little while,” Mrs. Gibson Sr. said.Miranda glanced at the time. “Another day, Grandma. It’s getting late, and Mia still has school tomorrow.”“All right. Sienna, walk them out for me,” Mrs. Gibson Sr. said gently, without pressing.“I’ll take her out,” Susan said, then came over and took Mia’s hand.When they reached the car, Miranda helped Mia into the back seat. As she turned around, she saw Susan standing there with tears running down her face. Miranda paused.“Mrs. Gibson, what is it?”“Miranda...” Susan covered her face, her voice breaking. “Over the years, I did too many things that hurt you. I don’t expect you to forgive me, but I can’t forgive myself either. I don’t even know how to make

    Just then, an arm slid around her waist. Peter sounded a little sour as he asked, “What are you looking at? Still thinking about your old flame?”Xena immediately put on a sultry smile. “You’re joking, Mr. Warren. I was only admiring the guests tonight.”Peter wrapped an arm around her waist. “Come on. You’re coming with me to the next stop. A few friends put together a private after-party, and I’m taking you along so you can see what a real scene looks like.”Xena nodded obediently. While Peter turned to greet a friend, she stole one last glance in Felix’s direction.He was back at the center of the crowd, surrounded by the most powerful guests in the room. The strict hierarchy of status and influence was on full display there, just as it always was.A man like that had never really belonged to anyone.And she really should have killed off that foolish hope a long time ago.In the elevator, Peter found Xena especially beautiful tonight and couldn’t keep his hands to himself. Hi

    In the crowd, Felix carried himself with perfect manners and polished restraint, but very few people actually dared to walk up and start a conversation with him. There was a strong sense of distance around him that kept most people at arm’s length.Among so many middle-aged and older guests, his striking looks stood out even more. He was young, but the immense wealth behind him gave him a natural authority no one could ignore.All around him, men and women alike found their eyes drifting toward him, respectful and eager.The young, beautiful women from high society especially had already done their homework on him long before tonight. Each of them secretly hoped that a man like Felix, someone who seemed born above everyone else, might spare them a second glance.At that moment, Peter had just finished saying something to Xena and started walking toward Felix. With a laugh, he said, “Chairman Gibson, it looks like Dr. Stone is very close to the Lloyd family.”Felix’s expression did

    After making the rounds with Mrs. Lloyd among several prominent society women, Miranda happened to look up and spot Xena. She was standing beside Peter, holding his arm and leaning in close to whisper something in his ear.Miranda understood right away.Xena had found herself a new backer.And judging from the way Peter had acted during the chamber election, it was obvious he was deeply unhappy about Felix taking the position.Xena hadn’t gotten close to him by accident. She had gone to him with a very clear goal in mind.About halfway through the evening, Felix stepped onto the stage as host to give his remarks. Under the spotlight, his silver hair caught the light with a cool sheen, but it did nothing to lessen the force of his presence.“Thank you all for being here tonight. As the new chair of the chamber, I will continue working to promote business growth and technological innovation, and to support outstanding talent...”Miranda was lowering her head to sip her champagne

    Felix’s eyes stayed on Miranda the whole time. His voice was gentle. “Don’t misunderstand what just happened.”Angie immediately got the message and stepped back. “Miranda, I’m going to check on my mom. You two talk.”That left the two of them alone on the terrace. The night breeze moved softly around them, but Miranda had nothing to say to him.She turned to leave as well, but behind her came his low voice, threaded with something that sounded almost like pleading.“Miranda, could we maybe...”“Chairman Gibson.” Miranda turned back, her clear gaze meeting his directly. “Some lines are better left uncrossed.”That title hit him hard.A sharp pain suddenly spread through Felix’s chest. He grabbed the railing on instinct, his eyes squeezing shut behind his gold-rimmed glasses, his brow tightening with pain.Miranda had already turned to go, but she heard the movement behind her and stopped.“What’s wrong?” she asked despite herself.Felix pressed a hand to his chest and forced

    The call on the other end took a while to connect. Xena didn’t wait for him to speak. Gasping, she said, “Felix… I think I’m going to faint. Please help me. I’m in the restroom.”Miranda had just returned to her seat when she saw Felix stand up abruptly. At the same time, Mike handed her a phone th

    Miranda turned her face away and said coolly, “You have no right to interfere with my social life.”“Do you really have to provoke me like this?” Felix asked in a low voice, a restrained emotion pressing beneath his words. “Are you really that unaware of Leo’s feelings for you?”Miranda found it b

    That gentle tone in her voice made Felix’s expression darken slightly.Miranda set her phone down and walked to the door. “You should head back. I’m going to rest.”Since he had taken care of their daughter that evening, her attitude toward him was still reasonably polite.“Get some rest,” Felix

    Miranda headed toward the elevator and responded lightly, “Yes.”Felix followed her inside. He reached out and pressed the button for the twenty-seventh floor.The air in the elevator felt heavy and tense. When they reached the twenty-seventh floor, Felix stepped out.Miranda returned home, tidie
