Akira and Rika let out a sigh, finally coming out with what they wanted to say to Dennis. According to Rika, Bella hadn't been attending her online classes, and she hadn't been at home during that time either. The night before, she'd had a massive blowout with Brad because of his angry outbursts over the mall incident, where he kept telling Bella he wouldn't lose to Dennis.
But Bella's response had been half-hearted; she'd already watched Brad lose twice to Dennis—someone who was supposed to be far beneath him—and of course, that was humiliating for her. After that, nobody knows how it happened, but Bella vanished from her house. All her belongings were still there, including her laptop.
Hearing this, Dennis believed what Rika was saying because Bella really hadn't been seen in the online classes—and even when she did log in, it was only for a moment with a dark screen. Dennis already understood what was going on; he just wondered what he and Daisy had to do with Bella's problems.
