“I see.” Debra paused, her brow furrowed in thought. “Have someone go to the police station and check if there
have hoon any recent arrests of prostitutes around fihelia’s Age.”
“Prostitutes? Ben was puzzled.
He couldn’t see any connection between the two matters,
Debra recalled the grim details from her previous life, When er finally found Jade, the newspapers had been
quick to report that she was a prostute. She had been imprisoned for her actions and suffered greatly, enduring
illness and pain in jail for over six months before ultimately succumbing to her fate.
Following this clue, they should figure out something.
“Just follow my instructions,” Debra said. “I believe it will lead us to sanswers.”

Debra hung up the phone, and Erica asked curiously, “Are you suspecting that the real Jade was imprisoned for
prostitution and Shelia took her identity?”
“It’s just a guess,” Debra admitted. “Since Clarissa insists that Shella is her daughter, Shelia’s identity must be
fake. Given that she managed to change her identity, she likely cinto contact with female prisoners during
her tin jail.”
“Yeah, Shelia might have met someone in prison. With her cunning, pretending to be someone else isn’t new for
her. It could very well be the case.” Erica seemed to grasp the core of the issue, her eyes widening with
understanding.
She nodded resolutely. “I'll have Randy handle it right away.”
“Wait,” Debra called out to stop her. “We shouldn't alarm them just yet, and | think things might be more
complicated than they seem.*
“Why do you say that?” Erica asked.
“Edgar isn't a simple person. If he had call the way to Seamar City to find Jade, he wouldnt have come
unprepared. Do you think he could be fooled by Shelia’s poor acting so easily?” Debra replied.
Erica pondered the question. “Maybe he didn’t have tto think things through?”

Erica’s concern turned to exasperation. “What do you mean he’s still out there? Why aren’t you with him?”
Randy explained, “He was unwilling to takewith him, tellingto cback and take care of you.”
“How could you let him go alone? Don’t you know his temper? What if...” Erica reproached.
Randy was frustrated. “I already got an earful from Marion. Do you have to scoldtoo? | feel like I'm buried
under a pile of complaints.”
With a sigh, he placed a heavy bag in front of Debra. “Marion askedto bring this back. It's supposed to be
good for swelling reduction.”
“So much? Did you buy this?” Erica asked.
“Of course not. How would a guy likeknow about beauty products?” Randy cleared his throat and clarified,
“Marion bought it with my credit card.”
Erica rolled her eyes. “Drop that miserly look, I'll transfer the money to you.”
Randy grumbled under his breath, “You don’t know how much Marion spent chasing after a girl. He owesa lot
of money that he hasn't repaid yet.”
