“I’ll come with you. My client happened to give me tickets. I can take you inside,” Sophie said.She and Miranda had agreed to meet at the entrance of the arena at six o’clock. Once they met up, the two walked inside. The place was packed wall to wall with people, making it almost impossible to find anyone.“Do you think Felix might have taken your daughter backstage?” Sophie asked.The thought immediately struck Miranda, and she quickly remembered that Terence had slipped into the backstage area earlier. She grabbed her phone and called him.“Hello, Mrs. Stone.”“Terence, I’m here at the venue. Can you get me backstage?” Miranda asked urgently.“Sure. Come to Entrance Three. I’ll meet you there,” he said.Miranda hurried to the third corridor entrance and waited. Soon, Terence appeared with a staff badge hanging from his neck.“This way, Mrs. Stone,” he said.Sophie followed close behind. After checking her ID at the entrance, Miranda was allowed inside.Lowering his voice,

Miranda turned to Susan. “Mom, it’s too stuffy in here. I’m taking Mia outside to play.”“The concert is about to start,” Susan reminded her.Miranda acted as if she hadn’t heard. Sienna grew annoyed and snapped, “Miranda, it’s already starting. Where are you taking Mia?”“Outside to play,” Miranda answered simply. With that, she carried her daughter out, Sophie following by her side.Susan pressed a hand to her chest in frustration. She had so badly wanted her granddaughter to stay, to experience the beauty of art.Leo suddenly picked up his phone and said to Sienna, “I’m stepping out to take a call.”Sienna froze. “Why would Leo leave right after Miranda?” she wondered.“No… that’s impossible,” she thought.She shook the thought away almost as quickly as it came. “Of course not. He’s just stepping out to take a call. It can’t have anything to do with Miranda,” she muttered to herself.Outside, Miranda carried Mia across the plaza. The open area was bustling, lined with sta

Miranda froze for a moment before straightening her expression. “Fiona, even if you dislike me, you should watch your words. James and I have a proper working relationship. It is not the kind of improper one you’re implying.”When she finished speaking, Miranda turned to leave.“I heard you have a daughter. Don’t you want to set a good example for her? And does your husband know you’re flirting with a colleague at work?” Fiona had no intention of letting her go.Miranda turned back with a faint smile. “My personal life is none of your concern.”Fiona’s expression darkened. “Miranda, I’m saying this for your own good. Don’t take it lightly. Even if you don’t care about your own reputation, you should at least think about James’s.”Miranda gave a small laugh. “James and I are innocent. You’re imagining things.”“Am I imagining it? Or is it that you just don’t dare admit it? If you keep clinging to James, I won’t hesitate to tell your husband.” Fiona’s voice carried an open threat.

James lifted his head, his eyes clouded with struggle.Miranda blinked, her curiosity only growing as she studied him.James’s clenched fists slowly loosened. With a heavy sigh, he said, “Mira, I’ll tell you another time.”But her curiosity was already hooked. “James, what is there between us that can’t be said? Just tell me. I want this research project to begin as soon as possible.”James looked at her with an ache in his eyes. “Even if the person this research might ultimately save is Xena, do you still want to be part of it?”Miranda’s heart recoiled at the thought of saving Xena, but she knew the research wasn’t for one person. It was for every patient suffering from illness.Besides, finding a breakthrough for leukemia had always been her life’s dream.She had to get into this project as quickly as possible. Based on her current direction, there was hope for a major leap forward in treatment success rates—transforming leukemia from a terminal illness into a controllable ch

Gavin hadn’t even finished speaking when Miranda pushed open the conference room doors.The doors banged loudly against the walls.Everyone inside the meeting froze in surprise. At the head of the table, Felix looked up in shock at Miranda’s sudden appearance.“Come out. I have something to ask you,” Miranda said, her eyes blazing with fury as they locked on Felix.The department heads all stared, stunned. Who was this woman? And how did she have the nerve to talk to Felix like that?“Who are you? Can’t you see we’re in a meeting?” the finance manager barked.“That’s right. Show some respect. We’re in the middle of something,” another man in his forties added.Miranda swept her gaze over them. “I’m his wife. I need to speak with him.”Her words sent another ripple of shock through the room. The finance manager’s face paled before he quickly forced a smile. “Mr. Gibson, we’ll excuse ourselves.” He turned to Miranda with an apologetic smile. “Mrs. Gibson, forgive me.”The other
