Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 911 - チャプター 920

The lighting in the garage was dim, but Miranda could see the sincerity in Leo’s eyes.His confession was calm and honest, impossible to dismiss carelessly. But Miranda’s heart felt heavy.She had just learned that Mia might carry a genetic risk. The future felt uncertain. For her, Leo’s confession was simply too much right now. The timing couldn’t have been worse.She lowered her eyes for a few seconds, avoiding the intensity of his gaze. When she looked up again, her eyes held deep gratitude, but nothing more.“Leo,” she said softly, “thank you. Being loved by someone as exceptional as you is an honor. You’re a wonderful man. But I’m sorry. I’m not in a place to accept anyone’s feelings right now.”Her eyes drifted toward the car, where Mia slept, even though she couldn’t see her clearly.“Right now, all my time and energy are focused on Mia and my work. I can’t afford to divide my attention. I’m not ready to start a new relationship.”She didn’t mention Mia’s possible conditi

Lily smirked, her expression laced with pride. “Of course. Would I ever hire anyone less than the best?”Xena fell silent again, lost in thought. Since returning to the country, she had seemed more distracted than usual. Lily had lined up several commercial appearances for her, but she had turned them all down.“Xena, there’s an advertiser offering ten million for a campaign. Do you want to consider it?”“I’m not interested,” Xena said, frowning.“That’s not a small amount. You would only need to show up and smile at the camera.”Lily had barely finished speaking when Xena gave her a cool, dismissive look. “Do you really think I still need to make money doing that?”Lily was momentarily speechless.It was true. Xena didn’t need it. She had always had only one goal, to marry into the Gibson family and become Mrs. Gibson of a billion-dollar empire. Compared to that, appearance fees and endorsement deals meant very little.Xena gazed out the window and sighed softly. “Lily, the ti

“Mr. Lloyd’s position is different now,” Miranda said quietly. “Your future will draw even more attention.”Mike held her gaze for a long moment. From her eyes, he read her resolve.He knew that she wasn’t in love with anyone else. It was simply that, in her plans for life, there was no place for him. No place for any man.After a while, he let out a slow breath and gave a faint, bittersweet smile. “I understand.”“Miranda, I respect whatever choice you make.” His voice steadied, returning to its usual calm. “Take care.”He paused, as if wanting to say more, but swallowed the words back.“I’ll walk you upstairs.”“You don’t have to. You should head back.”“We’re saying goodbye. Walking you up isn’t too much,” he said with an easy smile.She looked at him, then finally nodded.They stepped into the elevator in silence. Just as the doors were about to close, another elevator rose from the parking garage below and opened.The man standing inside made them both pause.Felix.H

“Thank you, Dr. Smith,” Miranda said, steadying herself. She didn’t press further. Instead, she followed Dr. Smith as he continued showing her the rest of the facility.However, her mind was clearly elsewhere. Who was Susan’s donor? Why had Felix insisted on such strict confidentiality? Was there something unusual about the donor’s identity?It seemed there were far more things Felix had kept hidden than she had imagined.After the tour ended, Dr. Smith invited her to lunch so they could discuss Susan’s condition in more detail.On that matter, he was open.Unfortunately, the news wasn’t encouraging. Despite everything, Susan was Mia’s grandmother, and hearing the prognosis left Miranda with a heavy heart.“Mrs. Gibson’s age is working against her,” Dr. Smith explained. “Her blood-forming function has weakened. The stem cell infusions are no longer as effective as before. Mr. Gibson is hoping I can present a new treatment plan as soon as possible.”Miranda frowned. “The second

“Wait.” Felix stood up abruptly, calling out to her before she reached the door.Miranda turned, waiting for him to continue.He regained his composure. “I’ll consider what you said.” Then he continued, steady but firm. “I’ll handle Xena. But understand this. If it means saving my family and protecting Mia’s future, there’s no price I won’t pay.”Miranda’s brows knit together. His words didn’t surprise her. From the moment she met him, she had known Felix was decisive, even ruthless when necessary. A man who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.“But I need you to promise me one thing.” His gaze locked onto hers.Seeing that he was willing to go all in for Mia, she softened slightly. “Go ahead.”“This must remain absolutely confidential. You cannot tell anyone. Especially not Xena.”Her brows tightened.Felix continued, “There’s a legally binding confidentiality agreement between us. It clearly states that any information regarding her role as a donor, including related p
