Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Kabanata 511 - Kabanata 520

Later that night, the research team sent Miranda the profiles for the first group of trial participants. As she looked down the list of names, one stood out immediately. Melody Zimmer, the woman Miranda had met before. She was the devastated mother with two sick children.Miranda remembered the desperation in her eyes that day. Now Melody had become one of the official participants. Miranda felt her fingers tighten around the edge of the file.These patients were putting their last hopes into her drug.She studied the files in the quiet of her home office until exhaustion finally forced her eyes shut. She laid back on the sofa and rested for a brief moment.*On Monday, Miranda arrived at the lab for the kickoff meeting. She was running a bit late and hurried down the hall with an armful of documents. As she rounded a corner near the restroom, someone stepped out at the same moment. They nearly collided.Miranda’s shoulder brushed hard against the person stepping out of the res

That night, the assistant received her termination contract. She didn’t need to show up the next day.She had used every trick she knew to climb her way into the executive office. Her whole plan was to rely on her looks, attract Felix, get into his bed, and become his office mistress.But things didn’t go the way she expected. She had only just found a chance to get close to Felix when he dismissed her without hesitation.When she received the termination papers, her mind buzzed for a few seconds. She clearly remembered how, when she first stepped into the executive office, she thought she saw a hint of desire in Felix’s eyes. That was why she dared to make a move.In the end, she could only accept her bad luck. She simply didn’t meet Felix’s standards.*At the end of July, DE’s headquarters looked tall and imposing in the early morning light. A powerful Bentley sports car pulled into a parking spot. Fiona stepped out in an elegant designer dress. She had just locked her car and

“Thank you. I’m ready,” Miranda replied.Ten minutes passed.Miranda had been on stage many times before, but this was her first time representing the lab as the keynote speaker at the national medical summit. That alone made today feel different.After the host invited her up, she walked up the steps with calm, steady confidence.In the front row, Felix sat in a dark gray suit, his gaze fixed on her with quiet intensity.Leo was seated in the second row. The moment Miranda appeared, a flash of admiration lit his eyes.Her outfit today highlighted every elegant curve of her figure. The silver-framed glasses gave her a refined, intellectual look, and the combination of grace and subtle sensuality made her impossible to ignore.Xena was not sitting beside Felix this time. She was in the third row with Fiona.Only invited academicians and university presidents were seated in the front rows, so Xena had no choice but to sit farther back.“Next, please welcome Ms. Miranda Stone, sp

“I have something to do,” James said.But Fiona assumed he was only using that as an excuse to cover up the fact that he had been left out. Unable to help herself, she spoke up on his behalf. “Even Miranda gets to join Dr. Zeller’s luncheon. Dr. Liam and Dr. Lewis are really showing favoritism.”James frowned and turned his head toward her. “Fiona, stop stirring things up. Dr. Liam invited me too, but I genuinely have something I need to take care of.”“James, you don’t have to explain. I understand,” Fiona continued, completely convinced that he had not been invited at all.“Fiona, if you are trying to create conflict between Miranda and me, there is no need,” James said as he stood up and walked away.The truth was, he really did have something to handle, so he declined Samantha’s invitation.Fiona watched his back as he left. She bit her lip and rose from her seat as well. When she reached the doorway to wait for Xena, she spotted Coco holding a bouquet. It was the bouquet Leo

Dr. Zeller let out a hearty laugh and lifted his glass toward Felix. “Of course. With young talent like Miranda, we will give her all the support she needs.”Samantha noticed this exchange and felt relieved. Having Felix handle the lab’s external connections would make a tremendous difference in the long-term support they could receive.The conversation shifted when another professor brought up renewable energy, and the table drifted to lighter topics.As the lunch neared its end, several professors, still enjoying the conversation, suggested visiting one of their homes afterward. The entire group agreed and climbed into the designated shuttle.Before stepping inside, Samantha looked back at Miranda. “Miranda, let Felix drive you back to the convention center.”Miranda’s car was still parked there.“Dr. Liam, you all go ahead. I will make my own arrangements,” Miranda said, watching them board the shuttle.“I will take you,” Felix said beside her.“That won’t be necessary. I ca
