All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 1421 - Chapter 1430

Felix was dressed in a white dress shirt and tailored slacks, his silver hair neatly styled. He looked as though he had just come from an important meeting.“Felix, you’re back,” Leo greeted him.Miranda glanced at her watch, then turned to Felix.“Could you keep an eye on Mia for a while? I need to head upstairs.”Felix nodded. “Of course. Go take care of what you need to.”Miranda looked at Leo. “You two can talk. I’ll head up first.”She did have an important report to finish, so she headed quickly toward her building.Leo watched her leave.From their brief, natural exchange, he could tell that the distance between Miranda and Felix had narrowed considerably. Miranda no longer seemed as guarded or resistant around him as she once had.They appeared to have found a new, delicate balance, built around raising Mia together and Felix’s support for Miranda’s work.Leo understood.“Looks like the two of you are getting along better and better,” he said with a teasing smile.F

Lily was quiet for a few seconds, clearly caught off guard.Then her voice came through.“Xena, we need to settle the outstanding expenses between us. Even family has to settle accounts. It’s time we did the same.”Xena had already been furious when she saw the invoices. Hearing Lily speak to her in such a businesslike tone only made her temper flare.Any thought of making up with Lily disappeared. It was obvious Lily had already decided to walk away.Fine. Xena wasn’t about to let herself be taken advantage of.“You want to settle up? Fine. Let’s settle up,” she snapped. “What about all the designer bags, jewelry, and other gifts I gave you over the years? Those were worth well over two hundred thousand dollars. Doesn’t that count for anything? And didn’t I give you a commission rate five points higher than other managers? Isn’t that money too? So what exactly are you asking me for another four hundred thousand dollars for?”Sasha stood nearby, stunned.It really looked like t

For the first time, Xena understood what it meant to feel completely alone.A wave of negative news and online backlash had swallowed her whole.More and more people piled into the drama, including Sophie, who had been following every development in Xena’s life for ages.Sophie was one of the most invested spectators of all. She immediately forwarded the link to Miranda.“Miranda, look at this. You’re going to love it.”Miranda was in the middle of writing a report and had not opened the link yet.“What happened?”“Xena and her manager are tearing each other apart online. And Lily is not holding back. She’s exposing what Xena is really like. It’s so satisfying!”Miranda opened the link and found Lily’s lengthy post.As Xena’s manager, Lily knew exactly where to hurt her.After skimming through it, Miranda felt surprisingly calm.“I saw it.”“Serves her right. Let’s see how she acts now. Don’t you feel at least a little satisfied after the way she treated you?”“A little.”

Thinking that Miranda might be reading the news about her right now, probably wearing that smug look on her face, stirred Xena’s fighting spirit again.She wiped away her tears and rushed to the mirror downstairs.She looked worn out, but she was still beautiful.She still had her looks. She still had her figure.She still had something to offer.Then someone came to mind.She had once performed at a high-profile charity gala in Hamilton. After the show, a real estate developer had sent his assistant backstage with a business card and an invitation to dinner.Xena had turned him down politely at the time.But she had known he was interested in her.He was in his early fifties, and under different circumstances, she would never have considered him. But she was no longer in a position to be picky.She needed someone who could help her deal with the situation online. For men like him, making a scandal disappear was probably no more difficult than making a phone call.Xena force

Daniel was not going to be the last man Xena relied on.She wanted to use his connections to get into Hamilton’s upper circles and look for someone better. In the end, she still wanted to settle down.She needed to find the right man, preferably someone like Felix, Leo, or Hayden.If she met someone with that kind of background and character, she would gladly marry him and live quietly.Then another name came to mind.Mike Lloyd.He was the man who had once pursued Miranda.Xena vaguely remembered that he was from Hamilton too. Maybe she could ask Daniel what kind of background he had.That night, Daniel invited her to another dinner.As soon as Xena got into the car, she leaned against him with a smile.“Mr. Grant, you know so many people in Hamilton. Do you know anyone in the military too?”Daniel liked to boast in front of her. He touched her cheek lightly.“Don’t underestimate me. I have several friends who are officers.”“Of course I wouldn’t underestimate you.” Xena
