《Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!》全部章節：第 51 章 - 第 60 章

Tonight was the anniversary party for Xena’s father’s company, and Miranda was certainly not on the guest list.As the waiter crouched down to pick up the shattered glasses, Miranda said softly, “Be careful not to cut your hand.”The young waiter, still flustered from the accident, felt unexpectedly comforted by her concern. Another staff member came over to help with the cleanup. When Miranda lifted her head, she saw Felix walking toward her.Behind him stood Xena, holding a glass of red wine. Her eyes carried a cold, mocking gleam, as if she were watching an entertaining scene unfold.“Was Miranda actually following Felix here? How pathetic,” Xena thought with quiet disdain.Miranda placed her glass of juice back on the tray and turned to leave. She had barely taken three steps when Felix reached out and caught her wrist.“What are you doing here?” he asked.“Let go,” Miranda said evenly, trying to pull her arm free.“If you needed something, you could have called,” Felix rep

“Yes, I agree that filing for divorce directly would be better,” Sophie said with a nod. “Once the court rules in your favor, you won’t have to deal with that one-month cooling-off period.”Miranda rubbed her temples. “The problem is, getting evidence is tough. Felix is far too careful. And I haven’t checked his phone in a long time.”“You need to check it,” Sophie said firmly. “I’m sure his phone has plenty of flirty messages with Xena, maybe even large money transfers. Those would be solid proof of his affair.”Miranda bit her lip. “We’ve barely spoken to each other for the last three months.”“So you two are basically avoiding each other completely?” Sophie asked.Miranda nodded. “Yes.”Sophie let out a sigh. “Mira, you have to find a way to get your hands on those messages and transaction records. That’s the strongest evidence you can bring to court.”To get access to Felix’s phone, Miranda knew she would need to soften things between them first. But did that mean pretending

“It’s work,” Felix said as he stood up from the table.Miranda stared at him, doing her best to keep a straight face. “Work? He really had to take the call in private?” she thought. The only person he ever acted that way with was Xena. It had to be her.A wave of embarrassment hit her. After all the effort she had made to play nice, swallowing her pride just to get a chance at his phone—was any of it even worth it?A new thought came to her. Maybe instead of trying to reconcile, picking a fight would get her further.She grabbed her purse and looked at him coldly. “I’ve lost my appetite.”Without giving him a chance to respond, she turned and walked out of the restaurant, never once looking back.Outside, she hailed a cab and climbed in. A few moments later, her phone started ringing. It was Felix. She let it go to voicemail.She didn’t head home. Instead, she went straight to Sophie’s place and spent the night there.“You’re kidding. You tried to talk divorce again and Xena

“Is Miss Spencer alright?” James asked with concern, glancing down at her medical chart.Xena gave a weak smile. “I caught a virus. Just bad luck.”“Don’t worry. There’s a new antiviral drug. You’ll recover soon,” James reassured her.“I heard it was developed by Dr. Lewis’s team. Don’t tell me you were the one who made it?” Xena asked with a smile. She had heard about James’s reputation as a medical genius from Hayden.“It wasn’t me. Someone else deserves the credit,” he said, glancing over at Felix.Felix wore a mask, but the fatigue in his eyes was obvious. He had clearly been caring for Xena day and night.“Rest well, Miss Spencer. I’ll take my leave,” James said before giving Felix a polite nod and heading out the door.Miranda was waiting by the elevator. When James saw her, he let out a quiet sigh.“What is it?” Miranda asked with a small smile.“It’s clear Felix’s heart isn’t with you anymore. He looked exhausted. He probably stayed up the last two nights,” James sai

Miranda clenched her jaw, feeling foolish. Felix had always been a man of action. If Xena wanted to see him, one phone call was all it took. He would go to her without hesitation. There was no need for him to flirt over messages.Any sweet talk he wanted to say, he could say to her face. He had spent the past few years flying from country to country, practically living on airplanes, all to be with her.And after all that effort, Miranda had found nothing. She stared out the window at the stillness of dusk, her fingers wrapped tightly around his phone. Her knuckles turned white as frustration surged through her. A wave of resentment rose in her chest.She walked back into the master bedroom and placed the phone on the nightstand. Just as she turned to leave, a strong hand clamped around her wrist and pulled her down toward the bed.Miranda lost her balance and fell right into Felix’s arms.She gasped, startled. When she looked up, his bloodshot eyes were open in the dim light, and
