Chapter 836 - 124: Let Me In

Joshua was very quick and tough, and by the time Vanessa received the message, she had no choice but to listen.

It was a small city that Joshua arranged for her to go and she wouldn't have any real power, so it was natural that she didn't want to go to.

But even if Joshua had arranged any other city for her, Vanessa wouldn't be willing to go. Joshua just found a random reason to make her leave the imperial capital.

Joshua was in a meeting, he would always bring Hazel to meetings, letting her sit in and listen. Although Hazel didn't understand what they were saying most of the time, she still went and pretended to be interested, but she was always sleepy sitting there.

Fortunately, Hazel was his secretary, and everyone thought she was here to take notes.

Halfway through the meeting, Vanessa's angry voice sounded outside the door. "Let me in! I want to see Joshua Denmark!"

"Mr. President is in a meeting, and you can't go in…" The man outside stopped her.

There was the noise of pushing and shoving, and then the door was burst open by Vanessa.

"Joshua, how can you transfer me to another city?!" Vanessa bellowed angrily as soon as she entered.

"Get out!" Joshua's face darkened.

Vanessa was a little frightened by his scolding, and her momentum weakened. Joshua had always been gentle, and it was the first time she had ever seen him speak so seriously and harshly.

"Miss Young, Mr. President, is in a meeting with the board of directors now, and it's really not the right time for you to break in." Jaxzon came to her and whispered, "You should go home. If there's anything, you can talk with him later…"

Vanessa bit her lip unwillingly. She knew Joshua was in a meeting with the directors, so she took advantage of the time to make a scene. How could she leave like that?

"I won't go!" With a distressed look on her face, Vanessa spoke out, "Joshua, my father is the elder of the company. But you're going to send me to another city. Is that how you treated the company's elders? Aren't you afraid of disappointing the rest of the company's directors?!"

Hazel raised her eyebrows in surprise. Vanessa was really good at confusing different concepts as she intended to stir up the dissatisfaction of the directors who also had children.

Sure enough, the directors could not help whispering, with a sense of impending danger.

Garry was the closest of the directors to Joshua Denmark, but recently they had all heard rumors that Joshua had plotted and cheated Garry out of his shares. Though they did not know whether it was true, they would rather believe it than nothing.

Vanessa and Joshua had a good relationship, but he was actually so ruthless. Then wouldn't Joshua be more merciless when he wanted to deal with them in the future?

Hazel couldn't help worrying about Joshua. However, he explained it, and everyone else would think he was trying to use the Young family as an example.

Joshua looked at Vanessa coldly as he said coolly, "The personnel transfer of the company's business assistant is decided by your department, not me."

The crowd was in a daze.

It was true. Although Vanessa joined the company, her employment contract followed the rules. She was only a trivial business assistant. There was really no need for Joshua to step in and arrange such a position.

Joshua's simple words passed the buck completely, since he did not transfer Vanessa, the rest of her story would naturally not make sense.

"You..." Vanessa's line of thinking was all confused. She had thought that Joshua would have all kinds of reasons, but she did not think that he would not admit it at all.

Vanessa said, irritated, "I'm fine at the imperial capital. Why should I go to another city?"

"The employees of the company should obey the company's arrangement," Joshua spoke lightly in a businesslike tone.

"I am not going!" she said, gritting her teeth, "Joshua, is that because of the matter between you and me that you want to treat us like that? Do you have to be so ruthless?"

Joshua's eyes were a little cold, and he nodded slightly to Jaxzon.

Vanessa had been making trouble again and again, so there was no need for him to be gentle anymore.

"Behold." Jaxzon pressed the button of the remote control in his hand, and an agreement appeared on the big screen of the meeting room instantly.

Everyone looked at the screen and whispered in shock.

Vanessa saw it, too. In an instant, her face turned pale.

"As you can see," Jaxzon said, "Director Young misappropriated the company's funds privately and in a large amount. For the sake of Mr. Young, who was the company's elder, the President merely let him return the funds and didn't have him hold him accountable for it, so Director Young then transferred the shares to the President. That's also what the President was going to mention at this meeting."

"Besides, the company's business assistants have to work in other cities for two years. No exception. Miss Young has been working for three months. She should have been there as early as one month ago, but Mr. Young has previously suppressed the matter and broken the company's rules."

"I see…" All the directors nodded in agreement.

Now that they knew the truth, they would not misunderstand anything. Of course, Joshua's means scared them a little. This was indeed a useful warning to others by punishing Director Young.

Vanessa's face turned paler.

She had planned to use the directors to put pressure on Joshua, but it was so easy for him to deal with it.

She had been more unreasonable than she was acting, but Joshua had never cared much. Why was he acting so ruthless?

It must have occurred to Joshua that something would happen like today when she had been assigned to this position. She had been set up by Joshua from beginning to end!

Suddenly, Vanessa's eyes fell on Hazel with a bit of hatred!

No, she couldn't leave anyway, if she left, there would be no way to separate Hazel from Joshua.

"I don't care! I won't go!" Vanessa was angry. "What can you do with me?"

The people burst into an uproar, and everyone looked at her in surprise. Her unreasonable behavior really took the directors by surprise.

"Take her out, Jaxzon, and everything will be done according to the company system," Joshua said quietly.

Then his eyes swept coldly over the directors. "Besides, I don't want to see something like this happen again!"

If Vanessa could break into the meeting room, there must be someone on the board who was informing her.

The directors suddenly became silent and bowed their heads.

"Yes," Jaxzon said.

Vanessa wanted to continue, but two bodyguards walked in and took her out.
