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!"
