All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 1551 - Chapter 1560

Beyond the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, the entire city skyline stretched out before them.James was recovering well. He wore comfortable lounge clothes, his complexion back to normal, and there was still that familiar gentleness in his expression. Over the past three years, he had become even more mature.“Make yourself at home,” James said. “What would you like to drink? Coffee, juice, water?”“I’ll get it myself.”Miranda didn’t want to trouble him.She brought over two glasses of water, then looked at him with concern.“How are you feeling? Does it still hurt?”“Much better. The wound just itches a little now. It means it’s healing.” James held his glass and smiled. “Don’t worry. The doctor said I’m recovering well.”Miranda finally felt a little relieved.Just then, James took a call from his lawyer.When he came back, he said to Miranda, “Fiona’s sentencing could happen as early as next month.”Miranda held her glass and fell silent.James looked at her with a ge

At noon, Felix hosted a lunch for the entire project team in the banquet hall. A larger celebration dinner had also been arranged for that evening.James’s team had grown to more than thirty people. With assistants and staff from various departments included, the banquet hall filled five tables.Miranda sat with James’s team at one of the tables.Felix arrived a little later.The seat beside Miranda had been left empty for him, as if everyone had silently agreed that it belonged to him.Miranda did not notice.She was listening to James talk about the next phase of the project. When it came to topics within their field, Miranda and James did have a rare kind of understanding between them.Sometimes, Miranda didn’t even need to finish her thought before James understood what she meant. And when James only said half a sentence, Miranda already knew the direction he was pointing toward.So when Felix walked into the restaurant, the first thing he saw was Miranda and James looking

Miranda sat back down.Just then, the servers began bringing out dessert. A mini mango mousse cup was placed in front of each person. It was small, delicate, and looked surprisingly good.Felix did not touch his.Instead, he gently pushed it toward Miranda.“You can have mine.”His voice was low, with the faintest hint of coaxing.Miranda looked at him for a moment. Then she picked up her spoon and started eating.A thought suddenly crossed her mind.Had she been a little too hard on him earlier?After all, he was one of the main figures at today’s celebration. He was also the president of Gibson Biotech. And those tiny shifts in his mood were probably, in the end, because of her.Miranda didn’t let herself think any further.She finished her own dessert in a few bites. Then she pulled Felix’s dessert closer and quietly ate his too.Felix watched her.The gloom in his eyes seemed to fade, and the corner of his mouth lifted slightly.After lunch went on for a while, some o

The elevator doors opened, and the two of them stepped inside.The enclosed space shut out the noise from the lobby. Felix pressed the button for his office floor, and the elevator began to rise smoothly.In the small space, the scent of alcohol on him mixed with his familiar cedar cologne, making his presence feel even stronger.Felix leaned back against the elevator wall, his head turned slightly as he watched the floor numbers change. Under the cool white light, the lines of his profile looked sharp and clean.Miranda stood on the other side, lost in thought.With a soft chime, the elevator doors opened.A female assistant was walking down the hall with a stack of documents in her arms. When she suddenly saw Felix, she quickly greeted him.“Good afternoon, Mr. Gibson.”Then she noticed Miranda and greeted her as well.“Good afternoon, Ms. Stone.”Miranda gave her a polite smile and nodded, then followed Felix toward his office.Felix stepped into the spacious office.The

Miranda sat quietly in her seat.She was indeed the youngest representative in the room. But by now, the shareholders had all made their own private inquiries. They knew her relationship with Felix had eased lately.Whether she might one day become part of the Gibson family again was something they had to take into account.“Dr. Stone truly is a rare talent,” one of the senior shareholders said. “Her contributions are not limited to our company’s consumer-applications project. Even in national-level biomedical research, she has made outstanding contributions. That is something we all admire.”“You’re too kind, Mr. Lee,” Miranda said humbly, looking at the elderly man beside her.Mr. Lee was one of Gibson Corporation’s original shareholders. Even during the turmoil after Mr. Gibson Sr. passed away, he had firmly supported Felix as the successor.Miranda knew that.Another older shareholder quickly chimed in with a smile.“Mr. Gibson, having someone like Dr. Stone by your side as
