Alle Kapitel von Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Kapitel 1371 – Kapitel 1380

Felix watched her in silence, his thoughts complicated.More than anything, he wished Eugene were here to see her now.He would have been so proud of his daughter.Miranda had inherited her father’s brilliance, her resilience, and his passion for research.Now, Miranda stood before the room with calm confidence, fully in command as she answered the military representatives’ questions with ease and earned their approval again and again.Just then, Felix’s phone rang.He glanced at the screen, rose from his seat, and slipped out through the rear door of the conference room.Once he reached a quiet stretch of hallway, he answered the call.“Dr. Smith.”“Mr. Gibson, I’m sorry to disturb you,” Dr. Smith said. “As required by the agreement, we’ve contacted Ms. Spencer several times about coming in for her scheduled blood draws. She’s made excuse after excuse, and today she stopped taking our calls altogether. Our blood supply is running dangerously low.”Felix’s expression hardened

Xena’s pulse quickened, but she made her voice sound just as anxious as Peter’s.“Oh my God. How did this happen? Peter, try not to panic. Medical care is so advanced now. Tyler is going to pull through.”“I need to catch the first flight out and see what’s happening. Take care of yourself.”Peter hung up.The second Xena lowered her phone, the concern vanished from her face.Cold calculation took its place, along with a flash of excitement she could barely contain.Tyler was in critical condition?To her, it felt like fate had handed her an opportunity.Peter had only one son. If Tyler didn’t survive, who would inherit Peter’s vast fortune?The answer was obvious.The child she would one day have with him.Then another thought occurred to her.Peter would be too distracted to worry about her contract with Felix. He might even be consumed by grief for a while.Felix had mentioned a new agreement before, one that wouldn’t interfere with her marriage, pregnancy, or future ch

From the terms Felix had included in the new agreement, Gavin could tell that Felix had no intention of interfering with Xena’s marriage or her plans to have children.Whoever Xena chose to attach herself to was her business, as long as it didn’t affect the agreement.Gavin couldn’t help thinking that if Xena had stayed within the boundaries of her original arrangement with Felix, things might have turned out very differently for her.Felix might even have made sure she was comfortably provided for.But while enjoying the resources and material comfort he gave her, Xena had wanted more.She wanted the title of Mrs. Gibson.She wanted Felix’s heart.Xena got into the car with the new agreement clutched tightly in her hands.She understood that as long as she stayed in line and honored the contract, Felix would leave her alone.But if she tried to break free, the enormous penalty and Gibson Corporation’s legal team would make sure she understood the cost.Taking a deep breath,

“Mm.” Miranda nodded, but her gaze shifted away from his, a little uneasy beneath his attention.Felix noticed the way she avoided his eyes. A faint smile touched his expression, but he didn’t press her. Instead, he turned to speak with one of the event managers.Outside the backstage area, Sophie handed Miranda a glass of champagne.“There’s still some time. Have a sip. It’ll help settle your throat.”Miranda accepted it and had barely taken a sip when Sophie said, “I just saw Felix arrive.”Miranda nodded. “Mm.”At exactly two o’clock, the launch ceremony began.After a brief introduction from the host, Felix rose from his seat and made his way to the stage.Under the spotlight, he stood tall and composed. His tailored suit only added to his cool, commanding presence.As chairman of the Chamber, his opening remarks were concise, confident, and forward-looking.When he finished, the host’s voice rang out warmly.“Next, please welcome Dr. Miranda Stone of Hamilton Medical Un

“Mommy’s home,” Miranda replied.“Then will Mommy come have dinner with us?”“I...”“Mommy, please come,” Mia pleaded before Miranda could finish. “Please?”Miranda’s heart softened.“All right. I’ll come.”“Then come down to the garage, Mommy. Daddy’s here to pick you up.”Miranda wanted to take Mia out for a change too. After letting Mrs. Young know, she headed downstairs.Felix’s car had just pulled into its space when she reached the garage. The window rolled down, and Mia waved excitedly from the backseat.“Mommy, hurry up!”Miranda smiled and shook her head at Mia’s impatience before opening the door and getting in.As soon as she settled into her seat, Felix turned to her.“What are you in the mood for? Italian, or something else?”“Either is fine. You decide,” Miranda said evenly.“All right. I’ll take care of it.”Felix pulled up outside an upscale Italian restaurant.The moment they got out, Mia took Miranda’s hand.“Mommy, I’m starving.”Miranda led her tow
