Semua Bab Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Bab 781 - Bab 790

The trees rustled softly in the wind. Felix narrowed his eyes and did not answer right away.Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly. “Something urgent came up at the office. Let’s talk another day.”Leo nodded. “Alright.”Watching Felix get into his car and drive off in a hurry, Leo stood there for a moment, lost in thought. Soon after, he also got into his car and left.*There was a meeting scheduled that day. Ben arrived with the engineering team. In the conference room, James and Miranda were discussing the latest research data, while Coco was preparing the materials and adjusting the projector.Before long, the room filled up. Ben was just about to ask the engineers to begin their presentation when the conference room door suddenly opened.Everyone turned toward the entrance. Felix stepped in, sharply dressed in a tailored suit, with Gavin following behind him.“Sorry I’m late,” Felix said in a low voice. His gaze swept across the room

Leo smiled. “All right. Since you’re recommending it, I have to try it.”Miranda withdrew her gaze and focused on the road ahead. “Turn left up here.”Before Leo could even pull out, a black Maybach glided past them. It was Felix’s car.“Felix had a meeting here today?” Leo asked, mildly curious.“Yes. A technical meeting,” Miranda replied.Leo didn’t press further. Following her directions, he drove to a nearby restaurant. Miranda ordered four of the restaurant’s signature dishes and asked whether he could handle spicy food.“Just normal spice is fine,” Leo said.At first, he barely noticed the heat. A moment later, his face flushed, as if he had just taken a sip of alcohol.Miranda noticed right away. Realizing he was not used to spicy food, she quickly poured him a glass of water. “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it would be this spicy. I’ll order a couple of lighter dishes.”“It’s fine.” Leo looked up and smiled. “I can handle it.”The food tasted perfectly normal to Miranda,

Xena lowered her gaze, her fingertips lightly tracing the rim of her glass. “But Felix’s recent behavior really does feel off.”Then she looked up. “This time in Hamilton, he was with Miranda almost the entire time.”“What?” Sienna blurted out, stunned. “Are you saying Felix didn’t spend that time with you at all?”“He only accompanied me to the hospital for a checkup,” Xena said softly, biting her lip. “After that, he left.”Sienna immediately rushed to defend him. “Xena, you must be misunderstanding things. Felix and Miranda are tied together through work. It’s unavoidable that they’d have contact.”When it came to remarriage, Sienna would be the first to object. Her dislike for Miranda was impossible to put into words. This time, she had only said a few careless things to Mia, yet Miranda had blown it completely out of proportion. Sienna had ended up thoroughly humiliated, and Felix had even lashed out at her because of it.She hated Miranda to the core.Of course, she had

Xena nodded thoughtfully. “All right. Go ahead, then.”Sienna didn’t even bother to say goodbye. She headed straight for the Lincoln Corporation.By four o’clock, Sienna had arrived at the Lincoln Corporation headquarters. She had worked there before, and the front desk recognized her, so no one stopped her.She took the elevator straight up to Leo’s floor. After stepping out, she moved confidently across the skybridge. The secretary looked up in surprise when she saw her.“Ms. Gibson, what brings you here?”“I need to see Mr. Lincoln. Is he in his office?”“He just finished a meeting and is working inside.”Sienna walked to Leo’s office and knocked. When she heard his voice, she pushed the door open.Leo was reviewing documents. He looked up, his brows knitting slightly. “Sienna? What’s going on?”“I have something important to tell you,” Sienna said as she hurried over. “It’s about Miranda.”Leo stiffened at once. “What about her? Did something happen to her?”Sienna froze

Miranda understood what Samantha was trying to say, but she still hesitated. Her brows drew together slightly.“Can I think about it?” Miranda asked.“My recommendation is that you take the stage,” Samantha said earnestly. “The foundation Gibson Corporation is establishing will make a real difference in the treatment of leukemia patients. It’s incredibly meaningful work.”“Alright, Dr. Liam,” Miranda said. “I’ll think it over and get back to them.”Meanwhile, Felix stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the executive office of the Gibson Corporation headquarters. Gavin stood behind him, giving a report.“Mr. Gibson, all the invitation emails have been sent.”“Has she replied?” Felix asked without turning around.Gavin immediately understood who he meant. “Ms. Stone hasn't responded yet,” he answered truthfully.Felix stared into the distance, his expression unreadable. “I see.”At five thirty, Miranda was stuck in traffic. She sent a message to Mia’s homeroom teacher, explai
