All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 381 - Chapter 390

One minute later, Felix’s call came through. His deep voice carried through the line. “Got it. I’ll come by.”“The bracelet’s in my desk drawer. You can get it yourself,” Miranda replied before ending the call.Back in her car, Xena’s phone lit up with a call from Sienna.“Hey, Xena! Did Felix come by to get the bracelet?”“No,” Xena said calmly. “I gave it to Miranda.”“What? Why would you do that? My grandma never said it was hers to keep!”“I just thought I’d do the right thing and return it,” Xena said with a faint, bitter laugh. “And she slapped me for it.”“She what? How dare she hit you?”“I don’t know. Maybe she thought something I wore would bring bad luck. Or maybe I said something wrong.”“What did you say?”“I told her I shouldn’t have taken what she loved,” Xena said softly, sighing. “Maybe that set her off.”“Xena, that’s not your fault,” Sienna said, trying to comfort her. “She’s just angry about the divorce and taking it out on you.”Xena’s voice trembled as

Miranda stayed silent for a moment before replying, “Alright. I’ll be there on time.”She hung up before Felix could say another word.Though she despised working with him, research came first. Personal grudges could wait. What mattered now was strengthening herself and proving her worth. Partnering with the military was a rare opportunity—one that could open new doors for her career. If she could contribute even a spark to the field of science, it would be worth it.A moment later, James texted to say he and Fiona would be joining her on the trip. The entire DE research team would be present.The next morning, Miranda was packing when she heard Mia’s cheerful voice downstairs.“Grandma, you’re here!”Miranda froze and went down quickly. In the living room stood Susan, accompanied by Mrs. Young.“I heard you’re flying to Hamilton City,” Susan said kindly. “I came to take Mia to my place while you’re away.”Miranda wasn’t surprised. Felix had probably arranged it. Mrs. Young c

When they arrived at the restaurant, two long tables had already been set for lunch.Jacob walked over to Miranda with a friendly smile. “Ms. Stone, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you. Mike talks about you all the time.”Miranda felt her cheeks warm slightly. “Is that so? You and Mr. Lloyd are close friends?”“We’re more than that,” Jacob replied with an easy laugh. “We were classmates and served together in the same unit. The military’s very interested in your nanorobot technology. I have to admit, I’m fascinated by it myself.”Just then, Fiona approached them. Jacob noticed her and smiled politely. “You must be Dr. York.”Fiona returned the smile. “I’m still working on my doctorate, actually. I haven’t graduated yet.”As she spoke, she gave Miranda a pointed look, as if to say “at least I’m honest about my title”.Jacob chuckled. “Even so, it’s impressive to be part of a project of this scale at your age.”Fiona tilted her head. “By the way, Miranda, didn’t Professor Liam re

When they arrived at the restaurant, Fiona had changed out of her business suit into a sleek, strappy dress that showed off her figure.Miranda, however, was still in her crisp white shirt and dark jeans, looking simple, effortless, and elegant.Inside the private dining room, the atmosphere was lively as everyone discussed the day’s progress. Ben raised his glass excitedly. “I never imagined DE would reach the point of collaborating with the military. We owe it all to Mr. Gibson’s leadership. Let’s have a toast to him.”Everyone stood, glasses in hand except Miranda.She quietly lifted her cup of tea and took a sip instead. People noticed, of course, but no one dared to comment. Everyone knew Felix would never take offense at anything she did.Fiona glanced at her from across the table, irritation flashing in her eyes. “Always has to stand out, doesn’t she? Just because she’s Felix’s ex-wife, she thinks the rules don’t apply to her,” she thought bitterly.“Alright, everyone’s wo

“I went over your data last night,” Jacob said. “A few numbers needed adjusting, so I’ve updated them.” He handed her a flash drive.“Thank you. I’ll take a look later,” Miranda replied gratefully.Outside the restaurant, Felix ended his call just in time to see Miranda and Jacob standing close together, quietly reviewing something on the screen. His expression darkened, and without a word, he turned and strode toward the conference hall.At nine o’clock sharp, the military representatives arrived. General Carter swept his gaze around the room. “Today, we’re finalizing the experimental schedule.”Miranda opened her presentation and began explaining the revised plan. Her calm professionalism quickly captured the room, earning another round of applause.“Excellent,” General Carter said with satisfaction. “Let’s proceed with this version. Animal testing will begin next week.”When the meeting ended, the participants gradually dispersed.James approached Miranda. “I’ve booked our fl
