Todos los capítulos de Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Capítulo 1161 - Capítulo 1170

Chairman Lowe spent half an hour onstage delivering a passionate speech, looking back over everything he had accomplished during his fifteen years in office. Then, at last, he announced in a solemn voice, “After careful consideration and broad recommendation, the new chair of the chamber will be Mr. Felix Gibson.”The announcement came with no real suspense.Even so, the room, along with the media present, sat in stunned silence for a few seconds before applause broke out like thunder.Amid the applause, Felix rose calmly from his seat and walked to the stage. He shook Chairman Lowe’s hand, and Chairman Lowe gave his shoulder a firm pat, as if handing over the weight of the role to him in that moment.An usher stepped forward. Chairman Lowe personally took the appointment letter from the tray and handed it to Felix. Felix accepted it with both hands, the silver-gray in his hair catching the light with a cool sheen.After the brief handover, Felix stepped up to the podium. His ga

Felix sat quietly with a cup of tea in his hand, watching Miranda speak with calm confidence about her research. In moments like this, she was so radiant it was hard to look away. Even the business leaders at the table were listening with unusual focus.“Chairman Gibson really has an eye for talent,” Mr. Lambert remarked. “Someone like Dr. Stone absolutely deserves serious support.”Felix gave a slight nod. “Science and technology drive a nation forward, and talent is at the center of that. Dr. Stone is more than worthy of support.”Miranda had just lowered her eyes and lifted her glass when a server placed a dessert in front of her, separate from the others.Felix made a small gesture. “I ordered that specially for Dr. Stone.”Miranda paused for a moment.Everyone at the table understood what he was doing. Felix was clearly trying to win her over.After all, they all knew the two of them had once been married.“This dessert is excellent. Dr. Stone, you should try it,” Chairman

Xena was naturally the first to notice. Lily was surrounded by media people, and they all knew about the history between Xena and Miranda.“So Miranda really knows how to grab onto the right opportunity. Now she’s using Felix to climb even higher,” Xena said with a cold laugh, though her eyes were burning with jealousy.The photo of Miranda walking alongside those business heavyweights was especially hard for her to look at.Lily couldn’t help asking, “Do you think Miranda might want to get back together with Mr. Gibson?”Xena stared at the way Felix was looking back at Miranda in the photo, her nails dragging hard across the screen. She knew perfectly well that if anyone wanted to get married again, it was Felix.When Lily saw Xena wasn’t answering, she quickly got the message and dropped the subject. With Miranda now so accomplished and radiant, and Felix practically untouchable in the business world, the two of them getting back together would do Xena no favors.“They won’t ge

Fiona regretted not seeing Xena for who she really was. She had assumed that once Xena married into the Gibson family and gained access to their enormous fortune, she would stop going after the York family’s assets. Instead, before she had even married into the Gibson family, she had already gotten Felix to seize thirteen percent of York Corporation’s shares for her.Fiona was sitting on the couch, bored and scrolling through the news, when she suddenly came across a financial report. There were photos of Miranda with Felix and a group of industry heavyweights. At once, Fiona’s eyes widened with jealousy as she stared at how far Miranda had come.Two years ago, they had both been researchers in the same lab. Now Miranda had walked away with a sixteen-billion-dollar divorce settlement and had shot to the top of the scientific world, becoming one of the leading figures in the field.The man in the photo speaking warmly with Miranda was the chairman of a major pharmaceutical company.

Back in the car, Lily finally let out a breath. “From the way Mr. Warren was looking at you just now, he’s definitely interested. Your plan to get close to him worked.”Xena pressed a hand to her chest, a flicker of discomfort crossing her face. He was a man in his sixties, after all. When he had leaned in earlier, she had caught a faint whiff of age on him.Compared to the clean, crisp cedar scent Felix carried, it made her stomach turn.Lily noticed the look on her face. No matter how lowly Xena’s background had once been, or the fact that she was born out of wedlock, Felix had given her ten years of wealth and status that rivaled what any rich family’s daughter could have had. Deep down, Xena had become proud.“Xena, think this through,” Lily reminded her. “Once you start down this road, there’s no turning back. Since you’ve already made a move on Peter, you have to follow through.”Lily was counting on Xena too. If Xena managed to get close to Peter, Lily’s own career could ri
