All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 1381 - Chapter 1390

Right now, Xena’s priority should have been getting pregnant with Peter’s child as soon as possible and securing her place at his side, not wasting her time competing with Miranda.Anyone with eyes could see how much Felix cared about Miranda. Going after her anyway was only setting herself up to be humiliated.As Xena climbed into the car, clutching her purse tightly, she made herself a silent promise.One day, she would throw the penalty in Felix’s face and finally break free of his control.She would never suffer this kind of humiliation again.Back at the restaurant, Felix returned to the table, his expression calm again.He studied Miranda’s face.She was patiently cutting Mia’s steak, as though what had happened moments earlier had been nothing more than an insignificant interruption.Xena hadn’t returned to the restaurant, which meant Felix had handled it.Miranda had no intention of asking what he had said.“Daddy, did Aunt Xena leave?” Mia asked curiously.“Yeah. Sh

“Hey, Fiona. Miss me already?” Victor’s flirtatious voice came through the phone.A flash of hatred crossed Fiona’s eyes, but she kept her voice calm.“Victor, my father knows you have evidence against him. He’s willing to pay you one million in cash for it.”“What?” Victor’s voice shot up in disbelief. “One million? Are you serious? Fiona, you’re not messing with me, are you?”“Why would I lie to you?” Fiona lowered her voice. “My dad wants to divorce my mom. None of his money is going to be mine anyway, so get as much as you can from him.”“Okay. Okay, no problem.” Victor sounded thrilled.One million was a fortune to him.Around nine that night, Roger drove to an abandoned pier on the outskirts of town.The area was nearly deserted.He waited in the driver’s seat until a Volkswagen sedan pulled up nearby. Victor stepped out.Seeing the young man who had been gathering evidence behind his back, Roger felt a surge of anger.“Mr. York,” Victor said respectfully. “You made it

Xena sat slumped on the couch in a satin robe, still seething over what Felix had said to her that night.The humiliation of being dismissed so completely, of being told she no longer even had the right to call him by name, clung to her like a shadow.She was unwilling to accept it, yet powerless to fight back.“Lily, tell me. What does Miranda have that I don’t?” Xena asked bitterly. “I was by Felix’s side for ten years. Ten years. So why is she the only one he sees?”Lily sighed.“Xena, what’s the point of saying any of this now? Felix’s heart was never with you. You could chase after him for another ten years, and nothing would change.”She sat beside her and spoke gently.“Take my advice. Let him go. The only thing that matters now is holding on to Mr. Warren.”From an outsider’s perspective, Lily could see it clearly.From the beginning, Xena had been the only one trapped in her feelings for Felix. She had even started imagining herself in the role of his girlfriend.“Pe

Lily glanced at her and continued, “If they ever do get back together, Felix will have to let go of his pride completely. He’ll have to learn to truly respect Miranda, trust her, and treat her as an equal.”She paused, then corrected herself.“No. More than an equal. He’ll have to become the kind of man who looks up to her. Only then might Miranda be willing to give him another chance.”Xena found the idea absurd.“Look up to her?” she scoffed. “Felix? He would never look up to anyone. You don’t know him at all.”“With everything Miranda has achieved in research, plenty of arrogant men would admire her,” Lily said. “If Felix doesn’t change that controlling, self-righteous side of himself, he’ll never win her back.“He’ll have to learn to be vulnerable. To be honest. To admit where he went wrong. Otherwise, he’ll spend the rest of his life without her.”Xena’s face darkened with jealousy.The thought of someone like Felix, so proud and untouchable, having to humble himself and c

“Miranda, you made it.” James smiled and got to his feet to greet her.“Dr. Stone’s here,” someone from James’s team called out excitedly.Miranda laughed and waved them off.“Please, don’t call me that. Just call me Miranda.”James smiled. “Exactly. No formalities tonight.”The team members who had not met Miranda before quickly came over to introduce themselves, and she greeted each of them warmly.The atmosphere was easy and cheerful. Everyone was either a friend or a colleague, and the conversation soon turned to the project’s success. Laughter filled the room.Then one of the male team members noticed someone was missing.Fiona.He pulled out his phone and sent her a message.“Fiona, why didn’t you come to dinner tonight?”A reply came almost immediately.“What dinner? I didn’t know there was one.”“You didn’t get the email?” he asked, surprised. “We’re celebrating the project’s success.”Fiona was at her grandmother’s house when she read the messages.Her lips pres
