All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 1221 - Chapter 1227

Miranda’s steps slowed slightly.She recognized the young woman. They had only met once, but the impression she had left was unforgettable. It was Lena Scott, the pilot. The last time Miranda had seen her, she had been in the hospital, striking and full of life, with an almost radiant confidence about her.How had she ended up in a wheelchair?Dr. Zeller finished his call and came back. When he noticed where Miranda was looking, he let out a quiet sigh.“She’s the granddaughter of an old friend of mine. She was a pilot with a very bright future ahead of her.” He shook his head. “A real shame.”Miranda couldn’t help asking, “Dr. Zeller, was it a flying accident?”Dr. Zeller’s gaze remained on Lena. His voice turned heavy. “Yes. The accident left her legs permanently disabled.” Then he looked at Miranda with quiet hope. “But if your brain-computer project succeeds, there’s a real chance it could eventually restore full function to her legs.”Miranda’s breath caught. She looked aga

“Chairman Gibson, there’s no need to be so absolute. Sooner or later, everyone in business ends up needing something from someone else. Damaging the relationship over a woman hardly seems worth it, does it?”“There’s no need for your concern, Mr. Warren. If there’s nothing else, I have a meeting to get to. Excuse me.”With that, Felix ended the call and stepped into the elevator.Back at the villa, Peter stood there with a dark expression, his hand tightening around his phone. He had never liked the arrogance of that young man to begin with, and now Felix had refused him so bluntly, without giving him even the slightest bit of face. It was the first time in years anyone had slighted him so openly.Just then, a soft arm slipped around his neck like silk. “Peter, don’t be upset. You’ve already done more than enough for me.”Peter might have been older, but after decades in business, the competitive streak in him was still as fierce as ever. Felix’s refusal didn’t make him back down.

That was the day Felix had finally been unable to stop himself from reminding Miranda to be mindful of boundaries. But later, watching the two of them off to the side together, talking so easily and seeming so familiar with each other, had left him in an obviously foul mood that night. It had even spoiled Christmas for him.Felix pulled himself back to the present, but the unpleasant memory still lingered. Now he knew that what Miranda and James had shared was nothing more than a kindred friendship, and he and Miranda were already divorced. Even so, the old unease had never fully left him.Across the table, Gavin noticed that Felix had barely eaten. He couldn’t help thinking that, for a man like Felix, eating in an ordinary cafeteria was probably a bit of a comedown.In a corner not far away, Fiona was staring fixedly at the scene. She had come back to work that day, only to run straight into this.It was bad enough seeing Miranda and James sitting together. What made it worse wa
