"I see." Debra paused, her brow furrowed in thought. "Have someone go to the police station and check if there have been any recent arrests of prostitutes around Shelia'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 Edgar finally found Jade, the newspapers had been quick to report that she was a prostitute. 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 some answers."

"Got it." Ben, though still bewildered, agreed to comply.

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 Shelia is her daughter, Shelia's identity must be fake. Given that she managed to change her identity, she likely came into contact with female prisoners during her time in 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."
