"Rhys, I'm in Harvey Mansion and was just about to go find you." Belle said with a faint smile at the corners of her mouth.
"Don't you have to stay there anymore?" He asked with a sigh of relief.
"Yes, I've long since run out of things to do here, and I'm ready to leave today." She replied in a warm voice.
"Good then, wait for me to come and pick you up." Rhys had a smile on his lips and a gentle tone.
"Okay, Rhys, I'll wait for you at the entrance of Harvey Mansion." Belle walked towards the electric car and hung up the phone.
It didn't take Rhys very long to come over here, so it would be okay to walk out now.
Standing at the curb, she found no electric car in sight.
Harvey Mansion was still very busy today, with the last event at 9am, when Tristan spoke to celebrate the successful conclusion of the New Year's Banquet at Harvey Mansion, and in the afternoon most of the guests began to leave one by one.
Because of the large number of people, there were obviously not enough electric carts, so Belle stood here for a long time without seeing one, so she had to wait patiently, after all, it took a long time to get to the main entrance.
There was a vague sound of crying coming.
The sound of crying was coming from the garden of the Fragrance Garden.
She frowned and walked quietly towards the sound of crying.
In a cloud of green leaves, a figure sat hugging her knees on a stone bench, her head buried between her legs, her tiny body trembling, and it was she crying.
"Rosa." She could not help but call out.
Rosa shivered and lifted her face.
Belle walked forward and saw that her eyes were red and swollen, her face full of tears and sorrow.
"Rosa, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying here?" She asked out in surprise.
Rosa looked at her with red eyes, her eyes were not as bright and clear as they used to be, but were clouded with a faint layer of sorrow.
"Belle, you knew everything long ago, didn't you?" Rosa sniffled and asked her coldly.
"Knew what?" Belle asked.
"Don't lie to me, I already know. You are all a bunch of liars, all of you are hiding things from me." Rosa was full of resentment, "You didn't treat me as a friend, you didn't tell me anything and made me act like a fool, being teased at every turn. I was so stupid."
She cried out again as she said this, her shoulders shrugging.
Belle's heart jumped and she placed her hand on her shoulder and asked warmly, "Rosa, what's wrong? Can you tell me? I've always treated you as my best friend, and I'm not trying to hide anything from you."
Seeing the simple girl in such distress, Belle was anxious.
"Liar, dare you say you know nothing about Martin?" She raised her head and yelled at Belle, tears in her eyes.
Belle was dumbfounded.
It seemed that someone had told her about Martin.
She finally knew!
To make a girl cry so sadly at this age, nine times out of ten it was all about her lover! She should have been aware of it.
For a moment, she was speechless!
How was she to answer Rosa? She had indeed kept it from Rosa.
She stood uncomfortably.
"I knew it, you all kept me in the dark, playing me like a fool. But I have been standing on you side." Rosa stood up in rage, "Forget it, just pretend that I never knew you, we have nothing to do with each other."
Belle only felt for an instant that Rosa had grown up considerably.
"I am sorry for my words just now, can we still have contact?" She looked at Belle with open bright eyes and asked in a somewhat uneasy low voice.
Belle smiled, tears flowing out of her eyes, and didn't answer for a long time, only holding her hand tightly and murmuring, "Don't worry, we will, please take care."
Releasing her hand, Belle twisted around and walked towards the outside.
The electric car finally came by, and she waved at Rosa, twisting around and getting into it.
A black jeep was driving steadily from the front.
Belle was very surprised, what was this security guard doing? Why there were cars driving into Harvey Mansion, shouldn't it be parked in the car park?
But it was already after nine o'clock and the party at the centre of the island was in full swing, so she took this opportunity to leave the place, lest Calvin find out and get entangled.
The black jeep soon drove away from her, and she didn't care much about it.
On top of the dazzling stage, the famous host of A City was holding a microphone, moving beautifully, smiling, with a sweet voice. And the finale of the show, which gathered many singers and stars, was no less than a grand and trendy concert, grand and lively.
The room was filled with guests, all of whom were excited, and the colourful ribbons and glow sticks were a great addition to the party.
"We would like to invite our Deputy Mayor of A City, Mayor Johnson, to give a speech for this performance to celebrate the success of the New Year's party held at the Harvey Mansion." The host's beautiful, sweet voice rang out across the room.
All of a sudden the applause rang out like thunder.
As the soft music played, the stage lights shone on Tristan, who was standing in the middle of the stage with a smile on his face and an air of calmness.
He was full of poise and authority, but with a friendly smile on his face.
The room soon fell silent.
