Semua Bab Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Bab 1351 - Bab 1360

The car drove smoothly toward the venue for tonight’s dinner.In the distance, the setting sun cut sharp lines through the city.Miranda didn’t want to dwell on the past.From now on, whatever relationship existed between her and Felix would be built on a new foundation of cooperation.Felix didn’t try to bring up anything else either.He understood her.She didn’t want to revisit their old memories with him.That realization sent a brief, suffocating ache through his chest.But it disappeared just as quickly.Before long, the car arrived at the hotel where the dinner was being held.A valet stepped forward and opened the door.Felix got out first.When a manager saw him, he immediately hurried over with respect.“Chairman Gibson, you’re here.”Felix nodded and waited for Miranda to get out.Once Miranda stepped out of the car, the two walked side by side onto the red carpet and toward the brightly lit banquet hall.Their arrival immediately drew glances from all around

Peter forced out a dry laugh, trying to save face.“I was only asking casually. With such a large sum of money involved, it’s always better to be cautious.”Felix’s cold gaze fixed on Peter’s face.“Questioning a Chamber decision based on nothing but personal speculation, without a single piece of evidence, is not only a sign of distrust toward me as chairman. It is also an insult to every expert who took part in the review. Mr. Warren, I suggest you watch your words.”Peter’s expression darkened.He was already in his sixties, yet here he was, being lectured in public by a man who wasn’t even thirty.It was humiliating.Before he could argue back, Felix gave him another cold glance.“If you continue making baseless accusations and spreading false statements, the Chamber reserves the right to pursue legal action.”His tone remained calm, but the warning in it was unmistakable.The looks around them instantly carried a little more respect and fear.Beside Peter, Xena bit down

After chatting with Professor Wright for more than ten minutes, Felix walked over and greeted the professor politely.Then he turned to Miranda.“Dr. Stone, sorry to interrupt. There are a few overseas guests I’d like to introduce you to. Come with me for a moment.”Miranda looked at the old professor.Professor Wright waved kindly. “Go on, go on. Business comes first.”Miranda nodded and stood, then followed Felix toward another group in the banquet hall.As Felix approached, a man walked toward him warmly.“Mr. Gibson.”“Mr. Carter, let me introduce you. This is Dr. Miranda Stone,” Felix said with a smile.“Dr. Stone, it’s a pleasure. I finally get to meet you in person.”Edward Carter looked at her with clear admiration.While they were exchanging greetings, another acquaintance came over to speak with Edward.Felix tilted his head slightly and leaned closer to Miranda’s ear.“Eighty percent of the donations for your project came from Mr. Carter.”Miranda’s pupils trem

Miranda listened to Xena.Clearly, Xena didn’t know the truth.Back then, after Miranda had confessed her feelings, Felix hadn’t given her an answer right away. So Miranda had chosen to give up.The reason they had ended up married wasn’t because Miranda had begged for it.It was because, just as she was ready to walk away, Felix had been the one to bring it up first.“Xena Spencer, don’t judge other people by your own filthy thoughts,” Miranda said coldly. “Since you’ve already latched onto Peter Warren, then behave yourself and live your own life.”Her voice sharpened slightly.“Going around bragging about your glorious past with Felix won’t do you any good.”Miranda picked up her bag and was about to leave, but Xena grabbed her arm, unwilling to let her go.“Miranda, stop pretending you’re so gracious. I don’t believe you really don’t hate him at all. At the pool, when he had to choose between us, he chose me. In the dressing room, he enjoyed my attention. Do you really bel

When Xena returned to the main hall, a server suddenly told her that Peter had gone to the lounge to rest and wanted her to join him later.Xena looked toward Felix in the crowd.After adjusting her expression, she picked up a glass of wine and walked toward him.“Felix, long time no see,” Xena said, forcing out a natural smile. Her voice was soft and sweet.Felix was talking with several senior figures in the business world. When he heard her, he only swept her a cold glance from the corner of his eye.He didn’t even give her a proper look.Xena noticed a few familiar faces in the group. From their expressions, she could tell they had once misunderstood her relationship with Felix.A smile curved her lips.“Felix, don’t be so cold. We’ve known each other for years, haven’t we?”The people around them were slightly stunned by Felix’s reaction.They all knew there had once been something between Xena and Felix. But judging from his attitude now, Felix clearly had no interest i
