Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 571 - チャプター 580

After Miranda settled Zion into the hotel, Keith came by to brief her on recent business matters. After half an hour of discussion, Miranda sat alone on a lounge sofa in the hotel lobby. Fatigue washed over her. She rubbed her temples and enjoyed a brief moment of quiet.The glow of the setting sun streamed through the glass windows and fell across her, outlining her in a soft golden light.Just then, she sensed someone sit down on the sofa across from her. She assumed it was another guest waiting for someone. She opened her eyes.A pair of deep, steady eyes were fixed on her.It was Felix.Miranda’s expression cooled instantly.Felix gave a faint smile, his gaze settling on her slightly tired face. “I heard you were granted your doctorate. Congratulations.”Miranda rolled her eyes. “I don’t need your fake concern.”She stood up, ready to leave. Felix rose as well, slipping one hand into his pocket.“I heard Dr. Declan is back and planning to restart his lab,” he said. “If you

Miranda froze for a few seconds, then smiled. “Uncle Zion, I have some connections with the owner of the Jenkins Lab. I can ask him.”Zion immediately relaxed. “That would be great. Then I’ll leave this to you. Since we have decided to restart the lab, we should not drag it out. Once a decision is made, it needs to be carried through.”Zion had spent his entire life in research. His approach was always rigorous and decisive.Miranda nodded. “Alright. I will arrange a meeting with him.”After seeing Zion back to the hotel to rest, Miranda checked the time and headed home to pick up Mia. On the drive, many thoughts crossed her mind, but there was one thing she felt especially grateful for. This time, Zion’s project would have nothing to do with Felix.Felix’s investments in scientific research had spread widely over the years. If he knew that Zion’s lab had already made breakthroughs in brain–computer research two years ago, he would definitely find a way to force a partnership.No

On the way back to the hotel, Miranda chatted with Zion about the lab equipment.“Yes, the core equipment here is in good shape,” Zion said. “It will be fully usable after recalibration.” He was clearly satisfied with everything in the lab.Miranda agreed. The Jenkins Lab was outfitted with advanced equipment. She felt that if Celine were watching from above, she would want to see this lab continue serving scientific research.After they arrived at the hotel, Zion asked Miranda to set aside some time in the next couple of days. He wanted to meet Leo in person.Miranda scheduled it for the following afternoon and arranged the meeting room at the Moutin Hotel.The next morning, Miranda went to the research base. Samantha stopped by to chat with her. She had already heard that Zion was back in the country, and she more or less understood where Miranda was headed next.Samantha did not know Zion very well. Back then, she had been two years behind him. Zion had gone abroad during his

Miranda had just settled into her car when her phone rang. It was Keith.She answered, “Hello, Keith.”“Ms. Stone, you haven’t left yet, have you?” Keith asked.“I’m still at the entrance.”“Could I ask you to come back up for a moment?” he said. “There’s an urgent investment matter we need to discuss.”Miranda happened to be free that afternoon. “Alright. I’ll head back up now.”“Eighth floor, small conference room,” Keith said.Miranda returned to the lobby. She glanced up toward the second-floor railing. Leo and Hayden were gone, clearly having either left already or gone off for coffee together.As she headed back, she thought about why Keith had called her in so suddenly. He usually handled investments. Aside from the hotel business, Miranda also had stakes in five other companies outside the hospitality industry. Some funds were placed in stable, long-term investments, but there was still excess capital that needed to be managed.When Miranda reached the eighth floor,

Miranda got back into her car. It was already 4:30 p.m., and it was time to pick up Mia. Just then, a message came in. She picked up her phone to check it, but it was not the message she had been waiting for.She let out a quiet sigh. There was still no word from Mike.Given the nature of his work, she understood that he would not be casually contacting anyone back home right now.*Meanwhile, at the York family home, it was a rare day with everyone gathered together. Ever since Roger’s company went public, he had become even busier than before. He was constantly tied up with meetings and social engagements.Gloria had her complaints, but seeing how quickly the company was growing, she forced herself to let it go. After all, everything would eventually belong to Fiona. At least his hard work was not for nothing.Fiona was sitting on the sofa scrolling through her phone when Xena walked in and sat across from her.“Has Miranda officially resigned yet?” Xena asked.“Not yet.” F
