Chapter 1485:

Nicole suggested, “Ma’am, do you have a spare key? Maybe we should check to see if he's home. And if something happened to him?”

The old woman replied: “Okay, just a moment. “I’ll get the key and we’ll go in together.” Then she went upstairs to get the key.

Nicole was eager to get inside and search for any possible clues. She knew Melissa was Jamie, but Jamie had left no DNA samples and all related evidence had been destroyed. There was no direct way to prove Melissa's true identity.

If Melissa was proven to be Jamie, things would be simplified considerably. Jamie had been quite notorious and reckless during her time with Jarrod. Many in Ardleng held a grudge against Jamie and were eager to confront her.

A few moments later, the old woman returned with a keychain and opened the door to Melissa's apartment.

As soon as they entered, they were greeted by the pungent smell of rubbish. The floor was littered with takeaway food containers that had not been thrown away. As it was summer, many had grown mold, presenting a disgusting sight.

Nicole had never seen so much dirt in a home.

The old woman exclaimed in frustration: "Good heavens! She looks so neat on the outside, and yet she lives like that!"

Nicole held her nose and walked into Melissa's bedroom. The bedroom was simple and somewhat cleaner than the rest of the apartment, but it was far from tidy.

Then, something in the room caught Nicole's attention.

Finding her own photo in Melissa's bedroom caught her completely off guard. It was conspicuously placed on the table, marked with curses directed at her.

This only reinforced Nicole's belief that Melissa was actually Jamie in disguise. There was no other explanation for Melissa's vehement curses if they really were strangers with no past grudges.

Outside, the old woman was furiously reciting curses that ended abruptly with a shrill scream. “Ahhh! Blood! Ahhh!”

Alarmed by the scream, Nicole ran outside and followed the trail to the bathroom. There she found Melissa, who had been missing for days, lying in a bloody bathtub.

The tub was slowly filling with water from a dripping faucet, reaching just below Melissa's lips. If Nicole had arrived any later, Melissa would have been submerged and probably drowned.

The scene was gross and horrific, but Nicole managed to maintain her composure. She immediately called the police and an ambulance before helping the elderly woman to calm down.
