บททั้งหมดของ Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: บทที่ 1491 - บทที่ 1500

“Ms. Spencer, we repeated the tests twice. The results were the same,” Dr. Smith said calmly. “As a researcher, I have to be responsible for the safety of the experiment. I’m sorry, but your blood can no longer be used in any of our research.”Xena stared hard at the numbers on the report, and at the word positive printed on the page.She drew in a sharp breath.Then her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.Just then, another document was handed to her.“Ms. Spencer,” Gavin said, “Mr. Gibson has decided to terminate your contract unilaterally. According to Clause Three of the agreement you signed, Mr. Gibson is formally notifying you that the contract is terminated effective immediately.”Xena snapped her gaze toward Gavin, her voice rising.“Terminated? On what grounds? Felix can sign me whenever he wants and drop me whenever he wants?”“Ms. Spencer,” Gavin said evenly, “because your blood sample no longer meets the lab’s safety standards, the agreement clearly states t

Miranda could feel Felix watching her.She pressed her lips together and kept her focus on the work in front of her.Half an hour later, she finished entering the data and writing the report. She let out a quiet breath, saved the file, and shut down her computer.“All done?” Felix stood up and walked over to wait beside her.Miranda nodded and got to her feet.“Did you make a reservation?”“Yes,” Felix said.He waited for her to start walking before following her out.Miranda rode in Felix’s car. She was tired enough that she didn’t feel like driving herself.Neither of them said much on the way, but the silence felt natural, as if they had never been apart.Felix had chosen a quiet, upscale restaurant with plenty of privacy.After they ordered, he looked up and asked, “Have you run into any problems at work?”“Not for now,” Miranda said.“What about the renovation?” Felix asked. “Is there any style you especially like? Or anything you want to add?”Miranda had already pl

“We’ll go look at a house tomorrow too,” Mrs. Gibson Sr. said. “That way, it’ll be easier for us to help take care of Mia later.”“Grandma, if you like living here, there’s really no rush to move,” Miranda said. She knew Mrs. Gibson Sr. was attached to the Gibson estate.Mrs. Gibson Sr. immediately smiled.“No, no. What kind of house I like isn’t important. What matters is being close enough to take care of Mia.”Warmth spread through Miranda’s heart.When it came to Mia, the Gibson family had never treated her poorly.Susan had the staff bring over some cut fruit and invited Miranda to sit for a while. After that, Miranda took Mia home.On the way back, Mia was playing with a small toy when she suddenly looked up and said loudly, “Mommy, I have something to tell you.”Miranda’s heart tightened.She could already guess what Mia was about to say.“Aunt Sienna and I ran into Aunt Xena at the riding club today,” Mia said. “She and Aunt Sienna got into an argument, and Aunt Sienn

That night, Miranda stayed with Mia until she fell asleep.Mia was sleeping soundly in her arms, but Miranda couldn’t fall asleep right away.She took out her phone, put in her earbuds, and checked the latest updates online.There weren’t many posts, and no further news about the fire had come out.Miranda set her phone down, closed her eyes, and tried to rest.The next morning, Sienna arrived at eight to pick up Mia.Since Miranda had to work, and Mia was still on summer break, the Gibson family had taken the initiative to handle Mia’s vacation schedule.Seeing Mia happily holding Sienna’s hand and getting ready to leave, Miranda said, “Sienna, thank you.”Sienna froze for a second, then smiled.“Miranda, don’t be so polite with me. You don’t need to thank me.”With that, she left with Mia.At seven that evening, Miranda came straight from the lab to the Gibson estate for dinner.She was sitting on the couch when her phone chimed.She picked it up and saw a message from F

“Xena really is something else. She’s ruthless,” Sophie said. “She kept Felix tied to her for nearly ten years. Taking his money wasn’t enough. She had to destroy your marriage too. And in the end, she still ended up like this. What was she even chasing?”Miranda looked up at her.“Back then, she loved him just as much as I did.”Sophie immediately understood.Felix at nineteen must have been every woman’s dream.The kind of man one glance could ruin you for.“Meeting Felix, I honestly don’t know if that was Xena’s blessing or her curse,” Sophie said. “It’s like that saying, you shouldn’t meet someone too unforgettable when you’re too young.”Then she looked at Miranda.“So in those last two years, Felix really was jealous of you and James?”“He said he misunderstood,” Miranda said with a nod.“Well, from his point of view, after the divorce, you had Leo, Mike, and James around you. That was more than enough to make him jealous,” Sophie said.Miranda blinked.“But we were o
