Chapter 399 Not Popular
Christina hid the surprise in her eyes very well.
But when she thought of the messy relationship in the Duran family, she suddenly felt that it was
normal.
"Ms. Fleming, Mr. Duran said that the ownership of the Duran Group will be handed over to Isobel,"
Toby said confidently.
Isobel arrogantly took out a few documents. She was well prepared.
In an instant, the entire living room was quiet.
The relatives of the Duran family wanted to share the family property. Before Christina could get things
done, there came Isobel.
Other people also had some complaints.
When Alexa and the others arrived, Isobel was arrogantly sitting on the
main seat with her legs crossed, looking like she was the head of the family.
"So this is the nephew and niece I have never met before. It's so good to see you."
Isobel said sarcastically and looked at Christina provocatively.
"Pack up quickly and leave the Duran family."
"How dare you! You have no right to drive us away," Keyon shouted with a cold face.
"Don't I?" Isobel sneered indifferently, "You have to be clear that I am the legitimate heir to the Duran
family."
"That's enough."
Christina looked pale as she suddenly called off the meeting.
Alexa stood beside Terrence, her face pale.
She had a strong pregnancy reaction and kept vomiting last night.
Terrence was so distressed. He did not want her to come, but Alexa insisted on coming.
Although Alexa did not communicate directly with Isobel, Isobel had noticed her long ago.
Alexa was Mrs. Ramsey, a great rival for Isobel.
"Let's talk about this after my husband wakes up. No one is qualified to
make a decision right now," Christina ordered coldly.

After they left, Isobel called Toby over.
"I heard that her daughter gave birth to a son for the Ramsey family?"
"Yes. The child is two years old now, and the Ramsey family values her a lot," Toby said meticulously.
"She has a son. What about my son?"
Isobel smiled meaningfully and said.
"Toby, you won't let me down, right?"
"You mean..."
"Get rid of her and her son. Anyway, that old man won't live for long. We have to get things done as
soon as possible, so as not to have any future trouble," Isobel said calmly as she played with her
fingers.
In fact, Toby did not agree with her risky way of doing things. Alexa was the daughter-in-law of the
Ramsey family. If they provoked the Ramsey family, neither Isobel nor Toby could get away with it.
"Is there no other way? Will it be..."
"Darling, can you bear to see our son live in shadow for the rest of his life?
We endured it for 20 years just to wait for this day to come. Can you bear to let the chance go?" Isobel
stroked Toby's cheek affectionately.
"Alright."
Toby finally compromised.
After Alexa and Terrence returned to their room, they were exhausted.
Terrence thought it over and over again, but he still tentatively said.
"Alexa, your health has yet to fully recover..."
"I know what you want to say."
Alexa had mixed feelings, but she did not want to escape.
"But Terrence, I can't bear to let it go."
Alexa said, her eyes turning red.
"I have already lost a child. I don't want to lose the child."
"I understand," he said firmly.
Terrence reluctantly pulled her into his arms.
"No matter if it's a daughter or a son, this is the last one. You can't ask for more in the future."
"OK."
Alexa fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, it was almost dinner time.
She heard that Isobel was going to hold a dinner party tonight to talk about
inheritance rights.
Alexa did not want her mother to suffer injustice, so she also planned to
attend the party.
Although her belly was not bulging, Alexa still wore a loose dress.
Terrence dressed in a suit to match her dress. When they walked together,
they were dazzling.
When they entered the venue, Isobel smiled kindly at them.
A young man was sitting next to Isobel. He looked to be in his early
twenties, but his eyes were extremely malicious.
Alexa subconsciously felt that he was very dangerous. After looking at him,
she quickly shifted her gaze.
"Alexa, this is your cousin, Zeke. Zeke, hurry and greet your cousin," Isobel
said enthusiastically.
Zeke was very obedient, just like a little boy.
"Nice to meet you, Alexa, Terrence."
But Alexa just responded indifferently, and Terrence didn't even look at him.
Isobel was quite embarrassed and smiled dryly.
Christina smiled faintly. Her aura was extremely strong.
"Christina, since we're a family, we don't have to stand on ceremony."
"Ms. Isobel, we are not that familiar," Terrence replied politely.
Isobel knew that Terrence was a tough nut to crack, so she did not take the
initiative to provoke him.
"Alexa, what happened this morning was just a misunderstanding."
"Is that so? You're not trustworthy," Alexa said indifferently.

"I was just worried about my brother. You also have a brother, don't you?"
Isobel chuckled.
It was a tough meal for Alexa and Christina. Isobel meant to compete with the Duran family's property
with them.
Her ambition was too obvious, and she didn't mean to conceal it at all.
"I know that Christina has planned to divorce. Don't worry, I will help you
with this matter."
Christina did not answer, but her eyes were full of hostility toward Isobel.
However, with Terrence here, Isobel did not dare to be too arrogant.
Isobel wanted to get Zeke into the Duran Group, but Keyon just rejected her.
This banquet, which seemed calm on the surface, ended unhappily. Alexa had a strong pregnancy
reaction, so Terrence quickly brought her back.
But just as they reached the door, Alexa saw Giselle waiting not far away.
Giselle wore little and looked haggard, as if she had not recovered from her
serious illness.
Although Giselle didn't speak to Alexa, she saw Alexa's pregnancy reaction.
Therefore, she knew Alexa was pregnant.
Giselle's eyes dimmed, even tinged with a trace of bitterness.
But Keyon appeared in time, blocking her line of sight.
"You haven't recovered yet. Why are you here?"
He took off his coat and wrapped it around Giselle. He was distressed for
her.
"I just wanted to see you. I've been staying in bed for the whole day. And I
want to catch some fresh air," Giselle said weakly.
Giselle wanted to greet Alexa, but the latter left directly.
Giselle thought that she was not liked by others.
Sensing that she was in a low mood, Keyon held her even tighter.
"Are you cold? Let's go home."
"Keyon, I want to find an expert to cure me." Giselle suddenly said. "I... I
want to have a child."
Hearing this, Keyon immediately looked shocked. "You're in poor health. I don't want you to suffer. We
can be DINK."
