All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 1191 - Chapter 1200

Miranda stepped inside and glanced at Felix in the seat at the head of the table. He was wearing his glasses again today, which made him look even more sharp and unreadable. But when his eyes landed on her, there was a hint of softness there too.The meeting had barely begun when one of the board members spoke up first.“One billion? Mr. Gibson, the brain-computer project has already burned through an enormous amount of money, and we still haven’t seen any real commercial return. Now you want to put in another billion? This is just throwing money into a fire.”The room immediately erupted, and more than half the board voiced their agreement.“I propose we keep the consumer side of the brain-computer project and drop the medical research side altogether,” another board member said. “At least that way we can protect what we’ve already invested.”Seated at the head of the table, Felix listened to all the objections without changing expression. Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, his gaze

Miranda took off her lab coat. Adrian was staying behind to log the data, so he told her to head out first. Miranda reminded him not to stay too late.She grabbed her bag and stepped out of the office. In the hallway, a familiar figure was walking toward her with a smile.“Ms. Stone, done for the night?”“Gavin? What are you doing here?” Miranda asked in surprise.“I’m here to drive you home. Mr. Gibson figured you’d be exhausted after working late, so he sent me to be your driver,” Gavin said.Miranda really was tired. For the sake of safety, she didn’t turn him down.On the drive home, Gavin drove steadily, and Miranda felt a quiet wave of gratitude.When they reached the parking garage, she thanked him. “Gavin, thank you. You should head home and get some rest too.”“If you’re thanking anyone, thank Mr. Gibson,” Gavin said at once. There was no way he was taking credit for this. He was just following orders.The thoughtfulness had come from Felix.Miranda nodded, then head

Looking back now, Xena realized Felix had started laying the groundwork back then. On the surface, he had helped York Corporation go public. But underneath it all, he had already planted the seeds of its collapse.“Xena, are you listening to me?” Roger’s frantic voice came through the phone. “Get over here now. We have to see Mr. Gibson today. He’s the only one who can save us.”Xena’s heart sank all the way to the bottom.How could Felix, the very man bringing the knife down on them, possibly still help the York family?And what she had never expected even more was that one choice she made back then would one day bring York Corporation down for good.“Dad, listen to me,” Xena said, taking a deep breath. “Felix isn’t going to help us again. Begging him is useless.”“How is that possible?” Roger sounded completely confused. “Hasn’t he always looked after us?” After all, he had benefited from Gibson Corporation in very real ways. Felix had helped with bank loans, approvals, and a

Fiona froze in the middle of taking a sip. Avoiding his eyes, she answered more quietly than before, “That was so long ago. Why even bring it up now?”“Long ago?” Victor gave a short laugh and leaned back against the couch. “Do you know what I lost because of you? I had a real future ahead of me. I could have gone into research. But for you, I gave all of that up. I got expelled, and there’s a permanent stain on my record because of it. And you, Miss Fiona York, never seemed to feel even the slightest guilt. If anything, afterward you just wanted me as far away from you as possible, like I was some nuisance.”Fiona’s face flushed bright red. She took another sip of water and forced herself to stay calm. “Victor, I was grateful. Didn’t I get you a job at my father’s company afterward? You even made it to vice president...”“Do you know how I got that vice president title?” Victor’s voice suddenly rose, filled with resentment that had clearly been building for years. “I drank until

When Fiona got home, neither of her parents was back yet. She went straight into the bathroom and scrubbed at her skin so hard it hurt, as if she could wash off the filth still clinging to her.For now, all she could do was take things one step at a time. Until she was truly backed into a corner, she couldn’t afford to turn on Victor.As York Corporation’s crisis continued to spread, more bad news broke by evening.Miranda was out shopping with Mia. Up ahead, Mia was happily picking things out, her little ponytail bouncing as she moved, bright and adorable.A few steps behind Miranda, Gavin and two of his men blended into the crowd, quietly watching everything around them.Shopping at the grocery store was relaxing. Miranda’s soft gaze followed Mia’s lively little figure. Mia had stopped in front of a shelf of chocolate, her eyes full of longing. Then she turned back to her mother.“Mommy, can I get one chocolate bar?” she asked, quickly holding up one little finger in promise. “
