Belle returned Scrooge's ring after breaking off their engagement because she wanted him to remember her with kindness, rather than carrying the burden of a failed relationship. She knew that the ring held sentimental value to him and believed it would be better off in his possession.
Belle was betrothed to Ebenezer. However, as their engagement moved on Ebenezer's fixation with making money overtook his care and attention to Belle. Ebenezer had become engrossed in making money to prove he was successful. Belle saw this and realised that when they were both poor Ebenezer was a different person, loving and caring but now he was hardening and she rebuked him saying "Would you have sought me out now if I were poor?". Ebenezer failed to answer as he knew that had she been poor he would not have given her a second glance.
