Chapter 102

Emir was taken aback by the circulating news that implicated Josh and the events surrounding him. He was still at his parents' house. Could it be... Did Josh intentionally do this to protect him?

But upon reflection, Emir realized that he was the one who had carried out all of Josh's actions. Sooner or later, the police would surely come looking for him.

"What's wrong, Son?"

Emir quickly closed the news page on his phone. Perhaps he was too shocked, but upon further thought, why should he be afraid? His mother probably wouldn't be able to see her cell phone anyway. "Nothing, Mom."

"But you look troubled." The middle-aged woman pulled out one of the chairs. She looked at her son with sympathy. "What's going on?"

Emir fell silent. His eyes stared at his mother, contemplating. "There's a problem at work, Mom. I have to prepare to go back."

Luna, Emir's mother, smiled gently. "Do your best, Emir. I know you can handle it."

Emir remained silent.
