All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 1261 - Chapter 1270

“I understand why you made that decision,” Miranda said, doing her best to keep her emotions under control.“And especially Felix. He’s been carrying a tremendous amount of pressure. He’s had to coordinate resources, push the project forward, and keep the research moving at the same time. I hope you won’t take your anger out on him because of this. He may be your ex-husband, but he is also someone you can trust. He’s given a great deal for Mike,” Justin added.A flash of guilt crossed Miranda’s eyes. In this matter, she really had been unfair to him.“Mr. Vice President, please don’t worry. I know the truth now, and I’ll do everything I can to move the research forward faster and get the project into the clinical stage as soon as possible.”“Good. Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease.” Justin’s voice carried deep relief. “And thank you. I know this hasn’t been easy for any of you.”“Mike was injured serving something bigger than himself. Doing this is the least I can do.”“A

The moment Miranda stepped off the plane, someone was there to drive her straight to the medical university. She arrived just in time for the meeting, where six medical specialists were already discussing Mike’s next stage of treatment.When his photo appeared on the screen, Miranda had to fight to keep her tears in check. In the picture, Mike looked as if he were only asleep. He was on a ventilator, and he had grown noticeably thinner.“Miranda, we’ve already gone over the situation,” Dr. Zeller said gently. “Now we need to hear your thoughts.”He could tell her emotions were strained, but he still hoped she might be able to offer them something solid, something that gave them reason to hope.Miranda took a deep breath and forced down the ache rising in her chest, making herself focus on the meeting in front of her.Then she began laying out the latest key progress and theoretical support behind the brain-computer interface project, her explanation clear and methodical.“Even th

Miranda slowed instinctively, her eyes searching the crowd for Keith. But Felix was already walking toward her.“No need to look for Keith,” he said in a low voice. “I’m the one picking you up.”Miranda frowned slightly. “What are you doing here? Where’s Mia?”“Sienna took her to my place for dinner,” Felix said. Then, as naturally as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world, he reached for the laptop bag in her hand. Before Miranda could object, he had already taken it from her, gentle but firm.“Did you see him?” Felix asked, his voice calm and steady.Miranda nodded. “I did.”There was fatigue in her face, but there was also something settled in her eyes now, a hard-won steadiness, as though something inside her had finally come to rest.Not far away, a paparazzo had locked onto them the moment Miranda appeared. He had come hoping to catch a celebrity, but instead he had gotten lucky enough to spot the city’s richest man showing up quietly to pick up his ex-wife.An

Sophie didn’t dare ask about anything else. Miranda’s work involved highly confidential matters, and Sophie knew better than to press. Instead, she asked, “If you don’t hate him anymore, then are you still in love with him?”The question caught Miranda off guard for a few seconds, but just as quickly, her eyes turned calm and clear again.“You want the truth?” Miranda asked with a faint smile.“Of course I do. I want to hear what you really feel, because as far as I’m concerned, all the terrible things Felix did in the past don’t just disappear.” Sophie let out a scornful little huff.There was still a lot Sophie didn’t know about what had happened in Miranda’s life over the past year. So in her mind, Felix was still the same cheating jerk he had always been. The kind of image that didn’t wash off.Miranda’s voice stayed level, without the slightest hesitation. “Right now, my head is full of lab schedules and data analysis. I’m very clear about what I want for my future.”“So w

To get Hayden to take her to the medical summits Felix was interested in, Xena would stay up half the night acting spoiled and sweet until he gave in.Back then, whenever Hayden, Felix, and Leo went somewhere together, they often brought her along. It wasn’t because she had actually been invited. It was because she had privately begged Hayden to take her so she could see more of that world, and in those days, Hayden rarely said no to her.After playing that role for so long, Xena sometimes really started to believe she was the only princess in the orbit of those three men. Being around Felix, Hayden, and Leo, three of the most powerful and desirable men in their world, gave her a thrill she couldn’t resist. It was intoxicating, and she became addicted to it.Of course, she knew the truth. Felix had always kept his distance. Leo mostly put up with her for Hayden’s sake. And Hayden himself was nothing more than a backup she kept on the line.Even so, the envy in other people’s eyes a
