All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 291 - Chapter 300

“Ms. Stone, I heard your research has made another breakthrough. That’s incredible.”“I read your paper in the International Medical Journal last month. It was absolutely mind-blowing.”Fiona’s fingers tightened around her cup. Every time Miranda was in the room, she seemed to disappear into the background.Across the table, James kept his eyes on Miranda, smiling as he discussed the latest progress in his research. Fiona couldn’t stand it anymore. “James, isn’t this classified information? Maybe it’s not appropriate to share with anyone outside the team.”James blinked, caught off guard, then frowned slightly. “Miranda isn’t an outsider.”“Who’s to say?” Fiona muttered, then cleared her throat quickly. “I just meant… it’s better to be cautious, that’s all.”Miranda could tell Fiona’s tone was loaded with jealousy. She turned to James and said calmly, “James, let’s save the rest for our meeting with Mr. Zeller.”James nodded. “You’re right. Let’s eat.”Fiona narrowed her eyes.

When Ben’s excited laughter echoed from inside the lab, Fiona’s expression shifted.“Impossible,” she thought.Their team had been stuck at that bottleneck for nearly two weeks. They had tested every possible approach but still couldn’t achieve the required results. How could Miranda walk in and solve it in just a few minutes?Biting her lip, Fiona stepped into the lab. The digital display that had been frozen earlier was now running smoothly. She stared, stunned.It was really solved.“Ms. Stone, it had to be you. We owe you for this one,” Ben said with genuine admiration.“No need to thank me,” Miranda replied with a faint smile.Behind her, Fiona sneered inwardly, “Could Miranda really solve every problem that came our way?” This project had already hit more obstacles than anyone expected. There was still a long road ahead. Fiona refused to believe Miranda could carry it through to the end.Still, it was not a total loss for her. The project was tied to her doctoral thesis

Samantha had received an invitation from the Jenkins Lab. They were set to announce a new breakthrough that afternoon at three o’clock.She called Miranda, Fiona, and James to attend the press conference together.Fiona and James returned from DE around noon. Sitting in the cafeteria, Fiona seemed to be in a good mood.“Mrs. Jenkins really knows how to build a team,” she said with a smirk. “I heard they’re unveiling a major breakthrough in AI cellular research this time.” She arched a brow and glanced toward Miranda, her lips curving slightly.At three o’clock sharp, the Jenkins Lab press conference began.The head of biotechnology took the stage, first introducing their research focus before turning on the projector to showcase the core technology behind their new AI cell simulation system.As the demonstration began, Miranda’s face turned pale. The algorithm shown on the screen, which controlled the AI cell training process, was almost identical to the core simulation protocol

Miranda froze. “Who gave that order?”“It came directly from Mr. Gibson,” one of the guards replied.So Felix really didn’t trust her after all.“Forget it,” Samantha said gently. “Let’s head back and wait for news from James.”Miranda bit her lip and nodded.Back in her office, her thoughts were a tangled mess. Then her phone buzzed with a new message.It was from Leo.“Miranda, are you all right? Don’t worry. I’m running an internal check on our lab’s data. I’ll let you know the moment we find anything.”Miranda replied briefly. “Okay.”Later that afternoon, when she went to pick up Mia, she saw that Vivian’s nanny had come instead. Leo was probably busy investigating the situation himself.Not long after, Celine called Miranda directly. She assured her that the Jenkins Lab was conducting a full internal audit and would hold anyone responsible for the breach accountable.It was clear that both Celine and Leo already knew the incident involved Miranda.A short while later,

A week passed since the data breach at DE.Miranda ran into Fiona a few times in the lab, and each time, Fiona avoided her gaze, her guilt written all over her face. Victor had taken the fall for her, sacrificing his academic career to end the scandal.In truth, the matter should never have been resolved so simply. But since Victor had no financial ties to Jenkins Lab and both labs were already collaborating, the university classified it as an accidental data leak. He was expelled after an official disciplinary notice. DE, however, chose to retain the right to pursue legal action if necessary.Throughout that week, Miranda felt an invisible weight pressing on her chest. Leo’s swift and decisive actions to defend her had left her deeply moved. She wanted to thank him in person, but he had already left on a business trip and wouldn’t be back until the holidays.Over the next two weeks, the lab gradually returned to its normal rhythm, and soon, New Year’s Eve was approaching.Three d
