“French Town”
Belle finally arrived in France.
“Belle!” Someone grabbed Belle's wrist, and made Belle reflexively ward off and almost hit the man.
“Andrew!” Belle shrieked, and from the look on their faces, there was a deep longing.
“My Belle!” Andrew spontaneously hugged Belle with longing as a friend who had not seen him for a long time.
“There are many things I want to talk to you about.” Andrew said, then rubbed the top of Belle's head.
They walked together towards the lobby, and to celebrate their reunion. Andrew invited Belle to go with him, touring downtown.

“I've heard everything, and I'm sorry for everything that happened to you.” said Andrew.
“Then, how about you? Haven't you already proposed to Thabita?” Belle replied.
Andrew smiled lopsidedly, and seemed to have a million secrets in his mind.
“I think we are a perfect couple. But in reality, I was just an outlet.” Andrew said with a sad face and there was also anger there.
Hearing this, Belle was silent for a moment. If you remember all of Thabita's kindness to her, Belle really never thought that in the end it was Thabita who betrayed her.
“I'm really sorry, for all Azkha's actions to you.”
“Ah no. Mr. Azkha didn't do anything bad to me.”
“But, as his brother, I feel ashamed to meet you. In fact, since that incident, I went abroad and also stayed there.”
“It's all over, and it's also not entirely Mr. Azkha's fault. Ah, then how did you come to meet me here?”
“Since the airport, I've been watching you. But I didn't tell you on purpose, because I wanted to surprise you.” Andrew said with a beaming face.
“You're still the same you used to be, loser!” Belle said, then pinched Andrew's arm.
The two of them seemed to be enjoying each other's company today. Andrew even drove Belle to Mrs. Dee.

“The residence of Mrs. Dee Denish”
…
“Maeli, my daughter.” said Mrs. Dee, then hugged Belle longingly.
“I'm sorry ma'am, I was just able to come to visit.” Just saying that, Belle's eyes filled with tears.
“Come on in, let's talk inside.”
…
“I can't understand why you can go through something like this.” said Mrs. Dee is concerned.
“Everything is fate for me, mom ..” said Belle, and again Belle had to cry over her situation.
“I understand very well your loss, but you don't have to fall into this sadness anymore.”
“I know that ma'am, it's just that I can't shake my sadness ..”
“My dear daughter, should mother step in for you?”
“No ma'am, I can handle my own problems. I can definitely rise from all this.”
“Stay with me here as long as you want.”
“Thank you mom.”
“Andrew, you can stay with us too.”
“Ah, of course aunty.. however, I have to go back to work to city B. Because I have some business to finish.”
“You guys look so well matched and hardworking. Why not try to be together, hm?”
“Mother, don't talk nonsense..” Belle whined, wiping her tears. In the midst of emotion, but had to hear the tickling words of Mrs. Dee.

Belle stood facing outside her bedroom window, while accompanied by a glass of warm chocolate.
“What exactly does Mr. Jordan want again? Wasn't Thabita with him already?”
“Oh, Shit! I hate my mind…” muttered Belle, who was confused with her own feelings.
Bzzttt bzzttt…
Belle's cell phone kept ringing loudly, breaking the silence of the night.
--”You damn bitch! You think you're going to win over me, just because you managed to sleep with Mr. Jordan! You are a lowly woman, despicable, bitch, dirty whore!”-- Said someone from behind a cell phone call.
With a calm tone, Belle tried to keep her emotions under control.
“Thabita, can't you explain first, the root of the problem?” Belle replied. Well, it was Thabita who was speaking harshly to Belle.
Thabita: “You dirty bitch, you Belle. You're just pretending to be an angel in front of everyone. But the truth is, you're just a dirty bitch on Mr. Jordan's bed, aren't you! Very embarrassing! Just see what I will do with your life!” Thabita snapped.
Thabita sounded very angry and of course burning with jealousy.
The call just ended.
Belle put her cell phone on the table. “As expected, things will get worse...” muttered Belle, who seemed resigned to the situation.
“Ah, how stupid of me to just give up… I also have the right to put up a fight against them. I have to get up!” Belle made up her mind to put up a fight against Thabita's actions.
… …
Sure enough, in just one night, bad news about Belle was spread in the mass media, social.
Bzzttt….
Andrew calls…
Belle had just woken up from her slumber, and a call from Andrew woke her up.
Andrew: “Have you seen the latest news? Can you guess who did this?”
Belle: “What… I thought, Thabita would really do it.” Belle replied, when she opened the contents of the news on her cellphone notification.
Andrew: “Then you're going to keep quiet? As your friend, I really object, if you make that decision.”
Belle: “I will calm myself first, just leave the news alone.”
Belle ended the call.
…
Izabelle Vedroe, turns out to be a hidden prostitute. Likes to annoy crazy rich men and also likes to disturb other people's relationships..—
That's roughly the gist of all the bad news about Belle. Anyone would be very angry, if they saw such news.
Not only Andrew, Jackson also kept calling Belle. But Belle still ignored him, Belle didn't want to talk to anyone.
“Thabita, do you realize what you've done right now...” muttered Belle, who really never thought, if Thabita's fake friendship actually brought destruction to her.
Belle was seen on the phone with Jordan, and was holding back her anger.
“Dear Mr. Jordan, can you take care of your lady, so you don't just write news about me!”
Jordan: “Mind your own business, I don't care.”
The call just ended.
“What the hell… what a damn bastard!” Belle cursed angrily. Even Jordan didn't care about that.
“Why should I be trapped in the abyss of this ruthless bastard!” muttered Belle, who was almost feeling disoriented.
What should Belle do? Was Belle going to put up an unusual act of resistance?
