All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 581 - Chapter 590

Roger laughed heartily, clearly pleased. “That’s my girl.”Dinner at the York family home was unusually lavish that evening. The whole family sat together, relaxed and cheerful. Midway through the meal, Xena’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen and stood up.“Dad, I need to take this.”Roger’s eyes lit up with expectation. Could it be his future son-in-law?Xena stepped outside to take the call. It was Hayden.“Hey, Hayden. What’s going on?”“I just heard something,” he said. “Felix is planning to postpone the Gibson Biopharma IPO.”Xena’s fingers paused as she admired the diamond ring on her hand. Her expression shifted. “Postpone it? Why?”“He said some of the data needs to be re-audited. The listing may be pushed back by as much as two years,” Hayden replied, clearly puzzled himself.He had called to pass along the news because he had mentioned the IPO to Xena a few days earlier, and she had shown clear interest.“I see,” Xena said with a faint smile. “Thanks for lett

News that Miranda had joined Zion’s lab quietly spread through the institute. Before long, it was no longer a secret.Even in the restroom, Miranda overheard plenty of speculation about her decision.“Is Miranda crazy? Mr. Gibson practically doted on her. He handed her every core project. Why would she leave?”“Exactly. If she had stayed, that brain-computer interface project would never have gone to Fiona anyway. With Mr. Gibson’s money behind her, his lab would have far more resources than Dr. Declan’s.”Miranda did not bother explaining herself to anyone. Coco asked her once, and Miranda’s answer was simple. She just wanted a change of environment and a fresh headspace.*A week later, Zion returned from Hamilton. He looked calm, but there was a quiet sense of satisfaction in his expression. The lease agreement with Leo had been finalized, and the next step was to prepare the lab and formally begin research.Miranda joined Zion for dinner to discuss the next steps for the lab

The meeting formally began. Jacob, representing the military side, took the floor first. When he reached the preliminary status of the brain–computer interface program, Miranda listened quietly.Then General Carter spoke in a measured, calm voice.“Dr. Stone, according to our records, you were involved in related research during your time studying in Danesia. Is that correct?”Miranda steadied herself and took a slow breath.“Yes,” she replied evenly. “While I was in Danesia, I participated in early-stage brain–computer interface research. At the time, the work focused primarily on medical rehabilitation, such as enabling paralyzed patients to control exoskeletons through neural signals, or helping coma patients reestablish stable brainwave activity. However, due to personal reasons, I withdrew from the lab two years ago.”“Do you still retain a clear understanding of the core theoretical framework?” Jacob asked.Miranda nodded.“Although I left the lab, I have continued to fo

Felix’s move had unexpectedly shifted Zion’s view of him so dramatically.“Uncle Zion, you might be giving him too much credit,” Miranda could not help saying.Zion chuckled on the other end of the line. After a few more words, they hung up.The return trip was on a commercial flight. Ben took good care of Miranda along the way. By the time they arrived back in Atlantis, it was already eight in the evening. Traffic from the airport was heavy, and it was nearly ten by the time she got home.Not wanting to disturb the Gibson family so late, Miranda let Mia stay there for the night.She had not expected the trip to last only a day. But the next morning, DE had an early meeting, and she needed to be there on time.For now, the fact that Miranda was staying on at the lab was known only to Samantha.*The next morning, Miranda took the wrong route on the way to DE and ended up running late.The morning meeting had already started, but Ben had not begun yet. He was clearly waiting fo

Felix taking a seat beside Miranda seemed perfectly ordinary to everyone else. After all, the boss could sit wherever he wanted. No one thought much of it.But to Fiona, the gesture carried a different meaning.Felix was still a man, and men had an instinctive need to assert themselves. Even toward an ex-wife he no longer loved, there could still be an urge to prove something. No matter how powerful or accomplished he was, that fact did not change.Fiona felt irritated, but she kept her expression composed, appearing focused and professional throughout the meeting.Felix had not brought any documents with him. Naturally, he reached over and picked up an unused file from in front of Miranda, flipping through it casually.Miranda remained cool and attentive, listening to Ben’s report as if Felix were not even there.Fiona watched everything from across the table. Felix’s face was calm, but his movements felt deliberate. Subtle. Almost probing. There was even a trace of scrutiny in
