All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 1181 - Chapter 1190

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

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

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

“All right. I’ll have my team start immediately,” Felix said with a nod.“Miranda is one of the lead researchers on the brain-computer side,” Dr. Zeller added.Something suddenly came back to Justin. It was the last message Mike had sent before he left.“Dad, Miranda and I are officially together now. She’s a wonderful girl, and I hope you’ll give us your blessing.”Justin pulled himself back to the present. After a long, heavy pause, he said, “Miranda and Mike only made things official two weeks ago. If she finds out what happened to him, it’s going to hit her hard.” He paused, then continued, “Felix, I have a difficult favor to ask. For the sake of the research, I want the truth kept from her for now.”Felix frowned slightly. “You mean...?”“I’ll tell her Mike is away on a classified assignment and won’t be able to contact anyone for a while. Once the brain-computer research starts showing progress, we can help her come to terms with the truth little by little.”Felix was si

Felix was very good at hiding every emotion behind a calm exterior, so good that no one could ever truly read him.“Okay. I’ll go back to the brain-computer team tomorrow,” Miranda said at last with a nod.Felix was quiet for a moment, then pressed the issue anyway. “Wrap up the handoff today and go back this afternoon.”Confusion flickered in Miranda’s eyes. Was he really in that much of a hurry? No matter how she looked at it, something about his behavior today felt off.Not only had he suddenly launched a new project, he had also been unusually specific about the direction of the research.That, combined with Mike’s disappearance, made a thought flash through her mind.Could it be...No. That couldn’t be right.Miranda shook her head and forced the thought away. Mike was out on a mission. How could this research project possibly have anything to do with him?Just then, her phone rang. She glanced at the name on the screen, and her breathing caught.It was Justin.Felix’s
