She looked a little unhappy. Her purpose in sending Elizabeth back to Dorburn was to let Elizabeth reflect on herself.
But Andrews visit today made her realize that Elizabeth still did not discern her mistake. Instead, Elizabeth asked someone else to intercede for her.
Now that Bella had figured out Andrews purpose in coming today, she asked directly, Before speaking for her, have you known what she has done?
Andrew was stunned for a moment. This was his first time seeing such a cold expression on Bellas face.

I once hoped youd be with her, but now it appears she doesnt deserve you. Moving forward, no matter what she asks you to do, exploiting your gratitude toward me, dont listen.
After nodding in acknowledgment, Andrew lapsed into silence.
Kristian observed Bellas expression closely. He could discern her genuine anger and deep disappointment with Elizabeth this time.
Otherwise, she wouldnt have confided in Andrew, an outsider.
With things having reached this point, it would be even more challenging for Elizabeth to reverse the situation.
As he was lost in thought, Elizabeth suddenly descended the stairs.
Upon noticing Andrew seated at the table as well, her face lit up with joy.
She was confident that seeking Andrews assistance would be effective.
After all, Bella would undoubtedly do him a favor.
