Reading

べっさつ
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)

Explanation

This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well. The べつ gets shortened to べっ, though, probably because it's a and that's what s do for a living in jukugo words.
