All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

Miranda drove while Felix sat in the back, holding Mia.“Daddy,” Mia asked in her soft, childish voice, “did Aunt Xena teach you how to play the piano?”“No,” Felix replied with a faint smile.“Then who taught you?”“I taught myself,” he said.Miranda’s hands tightened on the steering wheel. Felix had taught himself piano for Xena.All those years of marriage, she had thought he simply wasn’t the romantic type. But the truth was, it wasn’t that he didn’t know how to be romantic. It was that the unloved never deserved his tenderness.When she parked in front of the house, Miranda lifted Mia from the car and opened the gate. Mia ran happily into the yard.Felix got out of the car, but Miranda blocked the gate. “You can head back,” she said firmly.The Gibson estate was only about fifteen minutes away on foot anyway.Felix paused, then said, “There’s a joint company meeting tomorrow. If you have time, you should come by.”Miranda frowned.Without another word, he turned and wa

Lately, Miranda had been finding excuses to show up around Felix under the guise of work. Her intentions were obvious.“Ms. Spencer, let me take you upstairs,” the receptionist said warmly.Xena smiled faintly, lifted her bag, and walked toward Felix’s private elevator.That afternoon, Miranda attended the DE project meeting. As she stepped out of the restroom, she spotted Felix talking with Ben at the door. Running into him twice in one day left her slightly irritated.She walked past them and entered the meeting room. Fiona’s fingers tightened under the table when she saw Miranda. She hadn’t expected DE to still list Miranda as one of its core researchers.Then Fiona spotted Felix entering the room, and a flicker of excitement crossed her eyes. She was eager to see how Miranda, the ex-wife, would handle herself now.Felix pulled out a chair casually and sat down, directly across from Miranda.Ben began his presentation, outlining two major breakthroughs. Miranda listened atten

As soon as Miranda got into her car, her phone rang. It was Felix. She rejected the call without hesitation.If he was calling to defend Xena, she wasn’t about to give him the satisfaction.She drove straight to Mia’s school and asked to speak with Ms. Ellis privately.Inside a small cafe near campus, Ms. Ellis’s eyes widened as she listened to Miranda’s story. “What? Ms. Spencer is your husband’s mis—”Miranda gave a small nod. “Yes. She got close to my daughter on purpose. For Mia’s safety, I need you to promise me one thing. If Ms. Spencer ever comes to school again, please let me know immediately.”Ms. Ellis, who had a husband and children of her own, looked horrified and deeply sympathetic. She never imagined that a celebrated pianist like Xena Spencer could have been the other woman.“Of course, Ms. Stone. You can count on me. I’ll contact you right away,” she said firmly, clearly taking Miranda’s side.Miranda felt a small measure of relief. With Ms. Ellis keeping her inf

Felix had assumed that if Miranda was out for dinner this late, Mia must be with her. He had only meant to stop by and say hello to his daughter.But when he reached the private dining room, he paused outside the woven partition. Through the narrow gap, he saw Miranda sitting across from a man he didn’t recognize.The man looked younger, with the posture and calm authority of someone who had spent years in the military. He leaned forward slightly, listening to Miranda with quiet attention, his gaze filled with unmistakable admiration.And Miranda was smiling. It was the kind of easy, unguarded smile Felix hadn’t seen on her face in a very long time.He pushed the curtain aside. “Miranda.”The laughter inside stopped instantly.Miranda looked up, her expression cooling the moment she saw him. “What are you doing here?”Mike glanced between them, curious. “And you are?”“My ex-husband,” Miranda said flatly.Felix’s expression didn’t change. His gaze flicked to Mike, his tone dec

Miranda could already guess what Samantha wanted to talk about. When Samantha sat down, there was an apologetic look on her face. “Miranda, I originally intended to give you the PhD slot.”Miranda smiled faintly. “I understand, Dr. Liam. I’ll wait for the next opportunity.”Samantha hesitated for a moment before saying, “You know I always try to make decisions based purely on merit.” Her tone shifted, a hint of suggestion in her eyes. “Still… you could give Felix a call. It might help.”“Dr. Liam,” Miranda interrupted gently, her voice firm. “As much as I want this opportunity, I don’t want to earn it through connections.” With that, she turned and left the office.Behind her, Samantha sighed softly. She said nothing more, though she couldn’t help remembering the call she had received from Felix three days earlier. He had personally recommended Fiona for the slot. Samantha had even mentioned Miranda but Felix had insisted on Fiona instead.*By Wednesday morning, the parent-child
