All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Sienna sat beside Xena, chatting with her, while Hayden and Felix shifted to a conversation about current affairs. But Sienna’s attention soon drifted toward the play area. She wanted to be with Leo.Over by the play area, Miranda suddenly felt lightheaded. She wasn’t sure if it was the exhaustion catching up with her or something else, but for a moment, everything went black. Instinctively, she reached out and grabbed Leo’s arm to steady herself.Leo immediately noticed and asked with concern, “Are you alright?”Miranda let go of his arm and stood up straight. “I’m fine. Just got a little dizzy, that’s all.”At that moment, Sienna stepped out and caught the scene. She bit her lip, stunned that Miranda would so openly try to flirt with Leo.“Miranda, let me take care of Mia,” Sienna offered, walking over quickly.“That’s alright,” Miranda said calmly.Sienna turned to Leo instead. “Leo, I can watch Vivian. Why don’t you go back and join my brother and the others?”Since she c

Whenever Fiona walked through the medical university campus, she was often surrounded by younger med students. Some even asked for her autograph. It felt a little awkward, but she couldn’t deny how flattering the admiration was.Still, whenever someone asked how she had discovered the breakthrough treatment for the spherical virus, Fiona would just smile and offer no real answer.That morning, her mother called and asked her to come home for lunch.At the York family estate, just as Fiona pulled into the driveway, a striking red Ferrari rolled in behind her. In the sunlight, two women with notably similar features stepped out of their cars at the same time.“Hi, Fiona,” Xena greeted with a radiant smile.Fiona, proud by nature, responded coolly, “Didn’t know you’d be here too.”Xena was a year older. Years ago, her mother had tried to marry into the York family while pregnant, but the elders objected due to her low status. Roger sent Xena’s mother abroad to give birth, then quick

After the tenth floor, Miranda finally found some peace and quiet. She let out a quiet laugh. “So Fiona really went ahead and claimed my research like it was rightfully hers?” she thought.When the elevator chimed open, Miranda stepped out and headed to her office. Her assistant, Jay Young, greeted her with excitement. “Ms. Stone, you’re here!”Although the media had been crediting Fiona with the breakthrough drug, Jay knew the truth—it was Miranda who had built the miracle from the ground up.“Go prep the lab. I’ll be there in a minute,” Miranda said.“Got it,” Jay replied as he hurried off.Miranda sat down and began printing out several pages of data. Just then, there was a knock at the door. She looked up to see Coco walking in.“Do you need something?” Miranda asked.Coco quietly closed the door behind her and stepped forward. “Miranda, what do you think about all the buzz lately—people saying Fiona was the one who developed the new drug?”Miranda narrowed her eyes slightl

In the second photo, Mia was riding a little pony, beaming with a toothy grin and flashing a peace sign at Xena’s camera.The images hit Miranda like a punch to the chest. Her heart clenched so tightly she could barely breathe. She had been gone just one day, and Felix had already taken their daughter to see Xena.She took a deep breath, but her head, already throbbing from the fever, now felt like it was splitting open from the fury.Just then, footsteps sounded outside her door. Assuming it was a nurse, she looked up—only to see someone completely unexpected.“Mr. Lincoln?” she said in surprise. “What are you doing here?”Leo looked just as surprised. “A relative of mine is hospitalized here. I happened to see your name on the door and thought I’d stop in.”Miranda gave a weak, wry smile. Her voice was hoarse. “Caught a virus. Just my luck.”Even as she spoke, a wave of nausea surged through her. Her stomach twisted sharply, and she covered her mouth as she doubled over in bed

“What is it?” Felix asked in a hoarse voice, his face still clouded with sleep.Disgust flashed in Miranda’s eyes. She got out of bed, unwilling to look at him any longer.Felix kept his eyes on her, his sharp features now edged with a cold, steely tension.A few moments later, the bedroom door opened and closed behind her.Only then did Miranda lie back down and try to fall asleep.The next morning, she went downstairs for breakfast. Felix was already at the table. As soon as he saw her, his usually calm expression turned distant. His eyes were cold, detached.Miranda asked Mrs. Young to bring her breakfast to the lounge on the second floor. She had no desire to sit across from him.Soon after, she heard the sound of Felix’s car pulling out of the driveway.While eating, her phone buzzed with a call from an unfamiliar number. She answered.“Hello?”“Aunt Miranda? Is Mia home?” It was Vivian’s voice on the line.Miranda blinked, surprised. “Vivian? No, she’s staying at her g
