Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 55

“You know her?” Connor eyed Austin with suspicion.

Austin let out a laugh. “Of course I do. She’s the biggest influencer on my platform, probably the most mysterious creator online. How could I not know who she is?”

“Oh, wait, I remember now. She did a livestream last night, right? Someone called CNR was dropping gifts nonstop in her chat. That wasn’t you, was it?” Austin stared at him, eyes wide.

Connor paused for a beat, then shot Austin a look that was almost challenging. “Have you ever actually met her?”

Austin caught the vibe, and couldn’t help but grin. “Why are you looking at me like that? No, I haven’t met her in real life. I’ve just heard she’s really pretty. At least that’s what everyone says.”

“So, you don’t know who she really is either?”

“No idea. You’re wasting your time asking me.” Austin shrugged, palms up.

“Don’t you have access to her registration info in the database?” Connor pressed.

Austin gave an exasperated sigh. “Man, even if I wanted to help, I couldn’t. No one can see her backend info. Not even me.”

“Why not?”

“She set up her own firewall. I’m the developer, and even I can’t get through. You get it?”

Connor looked surprised. Did that mean she was actually some kind of tech genius, maybe even better than Austin?

“She’s a pro, honestly. If she doesn’t want anyone to know who she is, then nobody’s going to find out. You’ll have to figure out something else.”

Austin had been curious about Chief Lydia too. He’d even tried messaging her from his personal account, but she just ignored him. She was that untouchable.

Connor frowned, deep in thought. If this didn’t work, he’d have to try his backup plan.

“Hey, hold up,” Austin said, giving Connor a pointed look. “Aren’t you engaged to Miss Norwood? Why are you chasing after Chief Lydia now?”
