All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 801 - Chapter 810

“The Gibson family hasn't fallen so low that you need to step up, has it?” Leo said sharply, his gaze fixed on Sienna. “Or is Felix too busy with work to discipline you himself?”Sienna’s fingers tightened around the strap of her bag. “I’m only speaking for myself. This has nothing to do with Felix.”“No matter what, Miranda was once your sister-in-law,” Leo said sternly. “Is that really how you talk to her?”He had practically watched Sienna grow up, so in his heart, he had always treated her like a younger sister. At this moment, all he felt was disappointment and anger.Sienna looked up at him, seeing the coldness on his face. Her eyes reddened, and her voice carried a hint of grievance. “Leo, why do you always take her side? She’s the one who keeps clinging to Felix—”“Is it Miranda clinging to Felix, or Felix clinging to Miranda?” Leo said coolly. “You’d better get that straight before you start passing judgment. And if you keep going after Miranda, or if you ever put ideas i

Xena tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled faintly. “Don’t blame Felix. I’m the one who never asked to be his girlfriend. I didn’t want to put him in a difficult position.”“But that isn’t fair to you,” Hayden said, his heart aching for her. “You’ve been by his side for ten years. He owes you clarity. He owes you an answer.”“Hayden,” Xena said with a playful yet reproaching pout. “You just promised you wouldn’t interfere in my business with Felix. You’re already breaking that promise?”Hayden choked on his words. He picked up his glass and took a moody gulp of whiskey. “Fine. I won’t ask anymore.”Xena let out a quiet sigh and turned to the window, her thoughts drifting. In the soft glow of the lights, surrounded by flowers, she looked breathtaking. The kind of beauty that stirred something deep and unsettled.Hayden lifted his eyes to her. To him, she looked like an oil painting framed by light, so captivating he couldn’t look away.After a long moment, Xena seemed to notic

Felix knew exactly how to read people. He knew where her concern lay, and he used it.Miranda called James on the intercom and told him the discussion would take place at her house that evening. James agreed without hesitation.At five o’clock, Miranda went to pick up Mia. On the way home, she explained that both James and Felix would be coming over for dinner to talk about work.“Really?” Mia lit up. “That’s great. I get to see Dad.”Back home, just after six, James arrived.Not long after, the doorbell rang again. Mia rushed over eagerly. “That must be Daddy.”She opened the door, and sure enough, it was Felix.“Daddy,” Mia cried, throwing herself into his arms.Felix scooped her up and stepped into the living room. James rose from the sofa. “Mr. Gibson.”Miranda had already explained to Mia that the adults needed to talk about work. Mia behaved herself and went back to watching TV.“We'll talk in the upstairs study,” Miranda said, glancing at the two men. She went upstairs

When Mia turned to look at Felix, Miranda cast a cool glance his way.Felix caught it immediately. He lowered his head and gently patted Mia’s hair. “Be good, Mia. Daddy still has work tonight.”“But—” Mia puffed out her cheeks.“How about this,” Felix said, glancing up at Miranda. “I’ll take you to the aquarium this weekend. Okay?”“Really?” Mia’s face lit up. She immediately hooked her pinky finger in the air. Felix hooked his pinky with hers.“Daddy, you have to keep your promise. You can’t lie to me,” Mia said seriously, already committing it to memory.“I promise,” Felix said. “Daddy keeps his word.”After Felix left, Mia turned to Miranda. “Mommy, will you come to the aquarium with us too?”“I’ll check my schedule,” Miranda replied.Satisfied, Mia ran back to the sofa to play with her toys.Miranda knew this well. Even if she could completely erase Felix from her own life, she could never truly cut off the bond between father and daughter.Mrs. Young came over to take

At that moment, Hayden spotted Keith and stepped over to stop him.“Mr. Logan.”“Mr. Harris. You’re here.”“Have you seen Leo?”“Isn’t he with Ms. Stone?” Keith replied casually.Hayden’s eyes narrowed slightly. He gave Keith’s shoulder a light pat. “All right. I won’t keep you.”As he watched Keith walk away, Hayden took a sharp breath. It seemed the reason Leo was ignoring him was that he was with Miranda. Hayden had sensed it for a while now. Something between them had shifted. It was becoming clear that in Leo's heart, Miranda's weight had long surpassed years of friendship.With the tension between Miranda and Xena, it was only inevitable that their friendship would begin to fracture as well.Hayden glanced at his watch. The ceremony was about to begin. He remained seated in the lobby, waiting.Inside the ballroom, the host had already started warming up the crowd. On the massive screen behind him, the Gibson Pharmaceutical Foundation’s promotional video played on repea
