Crises in Love novel Chapter 97

Catherine nodded swiftly. "Then I'll keep your phone here! Do you have anything important left inside?"

"How should I put this? Everything in this phone is important!" I corrected her. "Please keep it for me! It's just that it's a bit inconvenient if I want to watch the surveillance video!"

Elbert chimed in, "You can hide the surveillance app in a secret folder!"

"How do I do that?" I asked, pleasantly surprised.

Elbert took my old phone, fiddled with it for a while, handed it back to me and told me where he hid the app.

I suddenly looked at him and blurted out, "Could Jaylan have also hidden something like this?"

Catherine said with disdain, "We'll find out once we get into his phone."

"That’s not the priority. The real issue right now is the funding!" I said, worried, "If I can't secure enough funding, I can't execute the plan."

"Seems like you need a partner!" Elbert hinted, looking at me, "Even if you had the money, you can't possibly execute this on your own, right? It wouldn't be wise for you to personally buy the shares he's selling, right?"

I mumbled, "Yeah, I indeed need a reliable person to help me buy low."

"Do you have someone suitable in mind?" Elbert asked.

I shook my head blankly. "For now, it's just a plan. I'll worry about the funding first!"

Elbert leaned on the couch. "If you trust me, I might know someone suitable!"

I looked at Elbert in surprise. He seemed very passionate about this. "But this isn't just a small favor but a big risk to take." I blurted out.

"Of course, I know it's risky! But it doesn't have to be a favor!" Elbert looked into my eyes and said, "It could be a partnership!"

"Partnership?" I was a bit puzzled. "How would we partner?"
