All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 821 - Chapter 830

Miranda lifted her glass and took a sip. “Let’s not talk about that.”She knew Leo was worried about her and wanted to stand up for her. But Sienna was Felix’s sister, and Leo’s mother and Susan were close family friends. Miranda didn’t want him caught in the middle of her conflict with Sienna.She especially didn’t want to strain the relationship between the two families because of her.“Leo, just let it go,” she said calmly. “It doesn’t affect my mood anyway.”Leo knew he had guessed correctly. Sienna must have assumed Miranda was still clinging to Felix and had sent those intimate photos as a warning.Even though it was only a guess, Leo still felt a surge of annoyance. Sienna had truly been spoiled.He looked at Miranda across the table. If she would only give him a clear place in her life, he would never allow anyone from the Gibson family to treat her that way.But he also worried that if he stepped in too forcefully, he might only bring her more trouble.After lunch, Mir

After Felix finished speaking, he stood up. Behind his glasses, his eyes had turned noticeably cold.The reporters were curious, but none of them dared to press further.As they walked out of the interview area, Gavin lowered his voice. “Mr. Gibson, I’m sorry. I couldn’t stop the reporters just now—”“It’s fine,” Felix said calmly.He removed his glasses and slipped them back into his suit pocket. The chill in his eyes faded, leaving something deeper and harder to read.Gavin replayed the interview in his mind. Felix had allowed the reporters to ask those personal questions, yet never gave them a direct answer. It almost felt intentional, as if he wanted them to speculate.As for why Felix had done that, Gavin didn’t dare think too deeply about it.Back at the lab, Miranda had just returned when Coco thoughtfully brought her a cup of coffee. A short while later, her phone rang. It was Samantha.“Miranda, did the launch event go smoothly today?” Samantha asked.“Yes, it went ve

James paused with the coffee cup halfway to his lips but said nothing. He understood the financial pressure very well. Lately, he had been closely tracking the lab’s supply costs, and the money spent on patent applications and acquisitions alone had been enormous.“The civilian projects are different,” Felix continued, opening a file. “They can turn a profit in less than a year. Those profits can then be redirected to support the brain–computer interface project.”James’s expression eased slightly. “Mr. Gibson, why don't you get straight to the point?”“I plan to assign the three independent civilian projects to you,” Felix said plainly. “You would lead the team. I trust your technical expertise and execution ability. Once cash flow improves, the brain–computer interface project can move forward without financial strain.”James looked back at him thoughtfully through his glasses. He understood something very clearly. The brain–computer interface project could function without him,

Just then, the conference room doors were pushed open.Felix walked in with Gavin at his side. He was wearing a dark gray suit and, unlike yesterday, he was not wearing glasses. The sharpness in his eyes was completely unhidden.His gaze swept across the room. It paused on Miranda for two seconds before he took his seat at the head of the table.“Everyone’s here. Let’s begin.”Gavin sat off to the side and cleared his throat. “Mr. Gibson has called this meeting to announce the staffing assignments for the civilian R&D projects.”Two assistants entered carrying stacks of documents and began distributing them to everyone present.Fiona’s heart began to pound. Her hands clenched under the table without her realizing it. She could feel several colleagues across from her looking at her with envy.There had already been rumors circulating that she would be taking over the civilian projects and becoming the lead researcher.She took a deep breath and straightened her back, waiting for

“Besides,” another voice chimed in, “didn’t you see Mr. Gibson’s expression today? The way he looked at Dr. Moore, there was real respect there. You could tell he approved. But I didn’t see him treating Fiona like some future sister-in-law.”“Exactly! Aside from Miranda, he barely seems to see anyone else. It’s like the rest of us are invisible,” someone else added.“So what’s Fiona going to do now? I heard there’s a line of people applying for the civilian project. If she can’t even land a spot on one of the project teams, she’s going to be the lab’s laughingstock.”Fiona’s chest rose and fell sharply. She clenched her fists, fighting the urge to storm into the restroom and lash out at them. In the end, she turned and walked away.As soon as she stepped into the hallway, a few assistants carrying folders saw her and instinctively fell silent.Fiona walked past them without looking sideways. Only one thought pounded in her head.No matter what, she had to get into the civilian pr
