Semua Bab Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Bab 441 - Bab 450

Gavin watched Felix silently staring after the SUV as it drove away. He stepped forward and lowered his voice. “Mr. Gibson, should we head back too?”Felix pulled his gaze away. Without a word, he got into the car. Even though the air conditioning was set low, he still loosened his tie. His voice was flat. “Back to the office.”Gavin understood that tone very well. He had worked beside Felix for six years. He had seen the version of Miranda who used to look at Felix like he was her entire world, and the version now who no longer saw him at all.She used to be a woman who stayed quietly by his side. Now she was making a name for herself in the research world. Even Gavin was impressed.So how could Felix possibly feel good watching the woman who once depended on him walk naturally into another man’s car?Meanwhile, Mike’s SUV was smoothly making its way toward the city. Mia looked out the window at the passing scenery, curled up in Miranda’s warm arms. Before long, she fell asleep

After lunch, Mike drove them home, and soon it was time to say goodbye again.“I have to head back to the base. The next time we see each other might be in November,” Mike said with a smile.“Goodbye, Uncle Mike!” Mia waved her hand.Mike crouched down, gently ruffling her hair. “Remember to eat well and listen to your mom.”“I will!” Mia answered loudly.Miranda looked at him. “Safe travels.”Mike lifted a hand in a casual wave, got into the car, and drove off.Miranda watched him leave. A quiet guilt rose in her chest. Even though Mike had explained it all as work, she knew how much he had done for her this week, and she was truly grateful.Just then, Mrs. Young heard Gigi whining and opened the door. Seeing only Miranda, she blinked in surprise.“Ma’am, you are back.”She paused, then asked, “Mr. Lloyd is not coming in?”“He left,” Miranda replied as she walked into the courtyard.Mrs. Young paused for a moment. So the relationship was not what she thought. “They’re only

Miranda thought Ben had something work-related to discuss with her, but when she pushed open his office door, Felix was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.She froze. Instantly, every guard inside her went up. Her expression turned cold as she stared at him.Felix turned around, his gaze as indifferent as always. “I'm picking up Mia this afternoon to have dinner at my mom's place.”This was him informing her.“Bring her back before nine.” Miranda agreed. He was entitled to eight visits a month, and from now on she would count every one.She turned to leave, but Felix spoke again.“Wait.”Miranda did not turn back. She simply stood there, her back to him, waiting for whatever he had to say.“The Lincolns are discussing a marriage alliance with my family. If you do not want their elders coming after you, then you should not be spending too much time with Leo right now.”Felix stepped closer, his voice low. “I already told you. The Lincoln family would never let their heir m

Susan had not really paid attention to when Sienna worked at Leo’s company. “Is that so? And was Leo good to you?”“He was. If it weren’t for that Miran—” Sienna stopped herself just in time.Susan narrowed her eyes. “If it weren’t for what?”Sienna smiled sweetly. “Nothing. Mom, I really like Leo. You have to help me make this marriage happen.”Susan truly hoped Sienna could marry into the Lincoln family. She was not after money or status. Leo’s character alone was worth trusting.They arrived at an elegant, quiet restaurant. Mrs. Lincoln, Haley Zimmer, was already waiting.“Hi, Susan,” she greeted warmly.“Hello, Haley,” Susan replied with a polite smile.Once seated, Haley’s attention shifted to Sienna. “Sienna, it has been a while.”“Hello, Mrs. Lincoln,” Sienna replied shyly.“You have grown into such a well-mannered young lady,” Mrs. Lincoln said with approval. She still remembered attending the Gibson family wedding years ago. Time had flown.Now that Leo had just tak

Even someone like Leo, who could have any woman he wanted, was now circling around a divorced woman like Miranda. It made no sense.That evening, Mia was going to the Gibson estate for dinner, so Miranda decided to meet Sophie for a meal after work. She needed a break from research and from life in general.Sophie had been thinking the same thing, so they agreed immediately.Miranda arrived at the restaurant at five-thirty. A moment later, Sophie rushed in with her bag, clapped her hands, and announced, “Good news. Want to hear it? I promise it will make your day.”Miranda blinked, skeptical. “What kind of good news?”“Felix is being sued. He is about to face a lawsuit in court.” Sophie grinned.Miranda froze. “Who sued him?”“It started when he tried to acquire a failing biotech company. They have a few valuable patents, and Felix tried to buy them for cheap. The company turned around and sued him in commercial court.”Miranda frowned. “Which company?”“I think it is called
