บททั้งหมดของ Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: บทที่ 501 - บทที่ 510

Miranda had just scrolled through a few parenting blogs when a recommendation popped up for a global art exhibition. The international tour had a domestic stop right here in Atlantis City at the Cultural Expo Hall.She opened the event page. It looked perfect for sparking a child’s creativity.“Sweetheart, how about we go to an art exhibit tomorrow?” Miranda asked her daughter.“Yes! I love drawing.” Mia nodded eagerly.Miranda bought the tickets online. While Mrs. Young bathed Mia, Miranda went back upstairs to finish her work.The next morning at nine-thirty, Miranda took Mia to the exhibition center. They had barely passed ticket inspection when Mia suddenly lit up.“Vivian!”Vivian turned around and ran toward her. The two hugged happily.“Mia! You’re here too?”Miranda lifted her gaze and found herself meeting Leo’s eyes from just a few steps away.The two exchanged a small, surprised smile. What a coincidence.Leo, dressed casually in a relaxed button-down, walked over

Miranda’s expression darkened. Anger surged through her stomach and up her chest. What sort of manipulation was Felix trying to pull now?Felix narrowed his eyes slightly. “You might want to think it over. And to be clear, I am not forcing you to sign.”Miranda let out a dry laugh. “I don’t care what kind of stunt you’re trying to pull. I’m not playing along, and I’m not interested.”Felix lifted an eyebrow. “I can tell you’re fond of Leo. Mrs. Lincoln seems to like you as well. But even if Leo can wait five years, Mrs. Lincoln certainly cannot.” He paused and added, “I am doing this to help you two.”Miranda stepped forward, grabbed the folder off the table, and slammed it onto the floor. “Felix, I’m warning you. Do not try to threaten me. I will never give up custody of Mia. Not in this lifetime. So stop fantasizing.”At that moment, Felix’s assistant started to come in with coffee. She heard the crash, froze, peeked inside, then very quietly closed the door again.Felix looked

That afternoon, when Miranda arrived at the school to pick up Mia, she spotted a familiar figure standing by the entrance. She blinked in surprise and hurried over.“Grandma, what are you doing here?” she asked warmly.She had called Mrs. Gibson Sr. “Grandma” for six years. She still couldn’t bring herself to call her anything else.Mrs. Gibson Sr.’s face lit up the moment Miranda approached. “Ah, there you are, sweetheart.”“Have you been waiting long?”“Not at all,” she said with a warm smile, giving Miranda a quick once-over. “You look well, but you’ve gotten thinner again.”“Grandma, how did you even get here?”“Oh, I walked over from home. I just wanted to see Mia.”Miranda felt a little guilty. Ever since Mrs. Gibson Sr. moved to the neighborhood, she had not invited her over for dinner even once.“Grandma, why don’t you come to my house tonight for dinner?”Mrs. Gibson Sr.’s eyes brightened. “I’d love to. I’ve been wanting to visit your place.”Miranda picked up Mia a

Just as the elevator doors closed behind Miranda, she faintly heard Xena’s cheerful voice outside.“Felix, come on. Everyone is waiting. Mr. Logan, you should join us for a drink too!”Miranda heard Keith’s voice turn down the invitation.“No, I’m good. I’ve got work to finish.”Miranda reached the hotel entrance. The security guard straightened immediately and greeted her.“Good evening, Ms. Stone.”She nodded in acknowledgment and walked toward the VIP parking area. She got into her car, turned on the music, and drove into the quiet night.Halfway home, her car suddenly died. Miranda stared helplessly at her aging Porsche Cayenne. After five years together, maybe it was finally time to replace it.She called for a tow truck and arranged for it to be taken to the shop. Then she contacted Keith and asked him to have it looked at the next morning. He thoughtfully had his assistant bring her a temporary car to use in the meantime.Later that evening, Miranda sat with a face mask

Hayden glanced at Miranda. Ever since he had privately warned her that night, she had kept her distance from him. Still, he took the initiative to speak first.“Hi, Ms. Stone.”Miranda gave a brief nod and ignored the other two. She turned to Leo. “You go ahead and catch up with them. I’m heading over.”Behind her, Xena laughed lightly. “Leo, so when are we getting invited to your wedding?”Leo’s face froze for a few seconds before his expression cooled. Hayden stepped in.“Xena, they’re just friends.”He turned to Fiona. “Go ahead and test-drive the car. Xena and I will wait here.”Fiona nodded and followed the sales manager.Leo gave Hayden a polite nod. “I’ll go ahead.”Xena immediately sensed Leo’s chilly tone toward her. She pressed her lips together and stayed quiet. Clearly, Leo was fiercely protective of Miranda.Hayden watched Leo walk off toward the VIP offices. He turned to Xena.“Xena, stop teasing them about that. It’s not appropriate.”Xena gave a soft laugh,
