My Beloved Ex - wife
Chapter 18

Everyone looked towards the uninvited guest figure with question markless gazes as well as astonishment. Who else would it be if not Zetta. He stepped into the hall where the party was held in the company of his best friend, Theo. A confident smile seemed to be stretched out on his lips, as if the strange gazes from the people around him were nothing.

Looking at Zetta who did not feel intimidated in the slightest, the invited guests were curious about what Zetta would do. They all feel if after this will be presented an interesting and affectionate show to be missed.

Alma, Jordan's wife and Helia's biological mother looked angry at Zetta's presence. The middle-aged woman who previously looked friendly and pleasant immediately changed her facial expression to be very cold. He immediately approached Zetta with a very unfriendly look.

"What are you doing here? Please come out, before I call the security guard," Alma muttered to Zetta in a somewhat restrained voice. He still maintained his manners by speaking formally, though clearly while restraining his anger.

Zetta flinched and pretended not to hear what Alma had told her. He looked towards Keenan with a sharp look filled with hatred. There was disgust in Zetta's heart now at the sight of the man. Theo was right, it seemed like in the past his eyes were completely blind from loving someone who did not deserve his love at all.

Seeing Zetta, Helia did not stay still. He pretended to put on a frightened face as if he was having an affair with the person who had hurt him and left a traumatized feeling for him.

It was clear that Alma became angry when she saw the look of her daughter's feigned fear.

"Get out of here, bad girl! My daughter is so scared because she saw you. You are so shameless, yes. Though our family has been very kind by not dragging you to the police station, but you instead want to make a mess here" Alma then angrily.

Keenan did not stay silent and approached his ex-wife.

"Zetta, you better go home. This event is not the place you should go. Look, people feel weird about your existence" Keenan said, trying to remind Zetta.

Zetta turned to her ex-husband and looked at him sharply with a cynical smile.

"True, I should never have come to this show. To be honest, I'm also lazy to set foot here if I don't have to. But how else, I have to recover my good name which is now bad because of someone," said Zetta sarcas.

"I really don't want to deal with you anymore, Keenan, but you provoked me first by spreading fake videos on the internet to bring me down. You know, what you did was really disgusting" Zetta added.

Keenan looked slightly widened his eyes. He shook his head, hinting that it was not him who spread the video of the accident.

"Zetta, you misunderstood ...."

"Theo, please bring my gift to Miss Helia and show it to everyone" Zetta asked without giving Keenan a chance to explain what really happened.

Theo, who had been standing still, now stepped in with something in his hand, which turned out to be a video projector. The man then pointed the projector against the wall of the building, then let everyone watch the video that has since gone viral in cyberspace, but with a much different version.

There it looks if the car that hit Helia has tried to dodge, but Helia was careless and moved in the wrong direction, so she was dragged by the car suspected of Zetta's, then he was hit by another vehicle. And the vehicle that actually hit him just ran away.

Everyone was surprised to see a video that was clearly very different from the widely circulated one, Keenan was no exception. They also whispered to each other, expressing their assessment of the video they had just witnessed.

"This video is fake, it's been engineered! The original video is one that is now on the internet!" jordan did not accept.

The man denied the truth in the video. If people believe in the video that Zetta played just now, then it means Jordan admitted that Zetta is innocent and the accident happened because of Helia's own negligence.

Zetta turned towards Jordan with a faint smile. He had guessed that Jordan would definitely deny the truth he gave by saying his video was fake. And of course Zetta has prepared for that.

"As a layman's fellow, it feels a bit inappropriate that we decide unilaterally which video is the original and which video has been engineered. Therefore, I have invited an expert to give a professional and objective assessment" Zetta said calmly.

A man entered the hall. He introduced himself as an informatics expert, a person who understands the intricacies of computers, including the problem of video editing. Some of the invited guests recognized the man and confirmed that he was indeed an expert on infromatics.

The man said if the video played by Theo just now is the original, while those circulating on the internet are fake or engineered videos. The man also explained which parts of the viral video were edited, as well as the reason why the video could look like the real thing.

Everyone seems to be able to accept what is described by the informatics expert because the explanation is reasonable and acceptable logic.

Helia became panicked because she had previously told Keenan with great confidence that it was Zett who had hit her. With a frightened face, he pulled Keenan's hand and took the man a little away.

"Keenan, sorry .. maybe because my head hit, I can't remember clearly the details of the accident. As I recall it was Zetta who hit me, but I seem to have misremembered ...." Helia tried to explain.

Keenan did not answer the woman's words. He just looked at Helia with a very gloomy look. Either Helia remembers it wrongly or not, but Keenan feels he has been lied to.

This time, it was Theo's turn to advance. Zetta's best friend appeared to provide additional information about the accident.

"The news that is spreading right now is really cruel to my best friend. He was accused of deliberately hitting Miss Helia and was judged arbitrarily based on the engineered video. Whereas, when the accident happened, Zetta was the one who had saved Miss Helia's life. He donated blood to Miss Helia when no one else could. And it's been doing it all these six years, until Miss Helia recovers" Theo said, looking at Zetta at a glance.

"So tell me, if Zetta wanted to harm Miss Helia on purpose, why did she have to donate her blood when Miss Helia was dying? Even continuing to give her blood for these six years whenever Miss Helia needs it? What'd he do that for?"
