Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 327

But now, it was obvious there was no next step.

Aiden and Andrew wasted no time tracking down the number. Just like Lydia said, the person was in Lakeview Town.

To save time, Aiden sent the number to Lydia so she could pinpoint the exact location. She guided them right to it.

When Aiden and his guys finally arrived, though, it was already too late. The person was dead.

He had jumped from the roof of a rundown five-story building. The scene was brutal, blood and brain matter everywhere.

The victim was a man, probably in his forties or fifties.

Aiden was frustrated and called Lydia right away. “Lydia, he’s dead.”

Lydia let out a short, cold laugh. Who was behind all this? Was it really worth someone’s life?

“Find out who he was. I want all the information you can get. Send it to me.”

“Got it.”

Connor watched Lydia, thinking hard. “Did you have any serious enemies at school?”

Lydia thought about it. “Not really. Nothing major. Even if someone had a grudge, I doubt they’d go this far.”

“Could it be from when you hacked the police system? Maybe someone found out who you are?”

Lydia shook her head. “I don’t think so. If it was those people, they wouldn’t bother with so many twists and turns.”

Connor nodded. “Yeah, you’re right.”

“Tell Aiden and the others to come back. We’ve hit a dead end. I’ll try to visit Lakeview Town myself in the next couple of days.”

Connor’s eyes narrowed. “Have Aiden stay and keep digging. He doesn’t come back until he finds something.”

They’d been so close to finding the mastermind, only to lose everything in a moment.

Aiden felt a chill run down his spine.

Later that day, Garrett had a flight to catch, and Lydia had promised she’d see him off at the airport.
