All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

Just then, Miranda’s phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen and saw it was James. She answered at once. “Hello, James.”“Mira, I sent the files you asked for. Check your email,” he said.“Got it. Thank you,” she replied.Then, turning toward the man behind her, Miranda said evenly, “You should leave. Don’t interfere in my life again.”Felix’s eyes were as dark as ink. So any other man could show up in her life, but not him? He turned and walked away.Miranda did not relax until she heard him finish speaking with Mia and the sound of the gate closing behind him. Only then did she finally let out a breath of relief.The next morning, after dropping Mia off at school, she headed straight to the lab. Her recent breakthrough still needed repeated testing. The work was tedious and exhausting, but to her, every bit of it was worth the effort.Around noon, Fiona happened to run into Adrian. Normally, she would never bother to approach him first. But today, she made the effort.“Adrian

That evening, Miranda finished a paper and submitted it to an international medical journal. Her discovery immediately sparked discussion across the medical community.Before long, foreign media outlets began quoting her work. At the same time, preparations were nearly complete for an international medical summit hosted in Atlantis City that weekend.One of the most anticipated guests on the roster was a Nobel Prize–winning doctor who would also be presenting his views. The event promised to be a landmark gathering in medicine, one that no leading expert would miss. Miranda was naturally looking forward to it.On Friday, she received a call from Mrs. Gibson Sr., who said she wanted to see Mia and asked Miranda to bring her over for the weekend. Miranda agreed, since the summit was being held two hundred kilometers away at a seaside villa resort and the round trip would be quite time-consuming and exhausting.After dropping Mia off at the Gibson estate, Miranda sat with Mrs. Gibson

Miranda trusted Leo’s character enough to let him in. After she closed the door behind them, he turned and looked at her intently. His voice was low. “Miranda, the truth is, I’ve always—”“Mr. Lincoln.” She cut him off. “I don’t want to talk about personal matters right now.”Leo gave a wry smile. “I understand. I got ahead of myself.”A cool draft slipped in through the window. Just then, Miranda’s phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen and saw a message from James.“Tomorrow at ten a.m., Dr. Smith has specifically requested a private meeting with you in the conference room on the top floor.”She blinked in surprise before quickly replying, “All right, I’ll be there on time.”“What is it?” Leo asked, noticing the change in her expression.“I’ve been asked to meet with someone tomorrow,” Miranda said with a faint smile.Leo’s eyes softened with approval. “It looks like your research has caught the attention of the international medical community. That’s a very good sign.”He

At that moment, Xena had been standing behind them, overhearing Leo’s words.She had come over after receiving a message from Hayden, planning to sit for a while, but she hadn’t expected to hear Leo’s open confession about pursuing Miranda.When Leo noticed her, he only gave a slight nod before walking away.Hayden sat gloomily, drinking in frustration. Xena took a seat beside him and tried to reason with him. “Don’t drink so much.”But Hayden only wanted to drown his troubles. He knew Leo had a point, yet as a friend, he still hoped to avoid conflict between his friends.Still, he couldn’t shake the thought that one day, Leo and Felix would end up falling out because of Miranda.He lifted his head and looked at Xena, his eyes slightly hazy. Suddenly, he reached out, gripped her hand, and rasped hoarsely, “Xena, stay with me.”She froze, then quickly pulled her hand back. “You’re drunk, Hayden. Go back to your room and rest.”Hayden’s reddened eyes lifted to her striking face,

Miranda frowned, and Dr. Scott looked briefly embarrassed. “Ah, I see,” he said.The atmosphere grew tense for a moment.Not far away, Leo watched them intently over the rim of his glass, his eyes thoughtful.Felix’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Dr. Scott. “If your lab is really short on people, you can always recruit externally. Don’t think about poaching from mine.”Miranda looked up at him in shock. Dr. Scott was still a senior figure in the medical field, and Felix’s words felt unnecessarily rude.“Dr. Scott, perhaps next time we can have an academic discussion,” Miranda said with a polite smile.Dr. Scott, clearly needing a way out, nodded quickly. “Of course.”Just as Miranda was about to turn away, Felix asked in a low voice, “May I have a word with you?”She froze for a moment, then replied coolly, “If you have something to say, you can say it here.”James glanced at Miranda. “I’ll wait for you by the elevator.”“Let’s go to the balcony,” Miranda said, walking ahe
