Josie sneered, "After her confession was rejected, she was humiliated by Aiden. Then, she suddenly realized she loved the wrong person.
"She then was pursued by an older man who had secretly admired her for years. Over time, she developed feelings for him, leading to a romantic relationship.
"Later, the man who humiliated her suddenly went crazy and tried to pursue her again.
"After she refused him repeatedly, she was instead accused of having character issues and playing the field.
"I can only say that those who say such things are either deceived or have a truly problematic character. Miss Green, wouldnโt you agree?"
โYouโre lying!โ Patricia was shocked by Josieโs words. โHow could my brother secretly love her? She was clearly flirting with him while also seducing Aiden.
"You donโt know the truth at all. You only listened to this womanโs one-sided story and helped her distort the facts.
"You seem naive, so donโt be deceived by this manipulative woman.
"Sheโs not a good person at all!โ
Josie held back the impulsive Allison with one hand, protected Zoey with the other, and looked coldly at Patricia.
She said, โZoey confessed her feelings to Aiden years ago. Many people were present and heard him humiliate her. You can ask around at school and find out.
"Another time in the cafeteria, I was there and saw him humiliate Zoey. From then on, Zoey completely gave up on him.
"Later, Zoey became acquainted with Colby, who is your cousin, and had a crush on her for many years. He invited Zoey to join his startup.
"Eventually, they developed feelings for each other and started dating. Aiden also began dating Natalie.
"Later, they broke up for unknown reasons. After Aiden returned to Brown Group, he suddenly began pursuing Zoey.
"Zoey had publicly rejected Aiden and clearly stated she didnโt like him. She did it once at school, and many students witnessed it.
"Another time was a few months ago at a business party. I was there, Sean was there, and other attendees as well. If you donโt believe me, you can ask around.
"Zoey made it very clear. She doesnโt like Aiden and canโt like him anymore. Aiden is simply dreaming that she still likes him.
"If you still consider these events I witnessed firsthand to be one-sided claims, then I have nothing more to say.โ
Josie glanced at Natalie behind her. โMiss Green, some people are accustomed to feigning innocence. Donโt let her use you as an unwitting pawn.
"Some people view Aiden as a prized catch and are eager to marry him. However, Zoey doesnโt think highly of him.
"Miss Green, you really shouldnโt say such insulting things about Zoey anymore.
"If Colby hears this, Iโm afraid it will affect your relationship!โ
Patricia still didnโt believe it. โIf she wasnโt trying to seduce Aiden, why would she go to the business party?
"Colby isnโt even in Aloville. Isnโt she going there just to see Aiden?โ
Josie was truly speechless.
She said, โFirst, Zoey attended the party with her father. Second, Zoey wanted to secure some sponsorships and find suppliers for Colbyโs company!
"She discussed this with Colby. It was precisely because Colby was worried about her being harassed that he asked Sean to go to the party to look after Zoey.
"Thatโs also why I went along.
"I think Iโve said enough. If you still have questions, you should ask Colby about it. He isnโt stupid. He knows whatโs right and wrong!โ
Zoey had recovered. She pulled Josie and said, โStop talking!
"Thereโs no need to explain to her anymore. Those who believe in me will naturally believe me, and for those who donโt, saying these things wonโt change them.
"I was just young and naive and fell for the wrong person.
"I never dated Aiden, and nothing irreversible happened between us. I donโt know why even this would bring me so much trouble.
