I am a Second Female Lead novel Chapter 120

It took Sven 10 minutes to make a decision and speak up about every information that Sheri said. Sheri had been patiently waiting.

"Alright, I promise."

She straightened herself and felt relieved by the trust her brother gave her.

"Thank you for everything Sven. I am going to make a letter to mom and tell them that I went abroad. Make sure to calm them." She always does what she wanted before so there is no difference if she will be gone for a month or two or even a year. As long She will contact them regularly. It is pain in the head of her parents.

"Tell me first all the story. I know that I can help you" Sven understood her plan and asked.

She shook her head and almost tear up since this might be the last time she would see and meet him. Sven, on the other hand, was feeling afraid of what might happen to her.

"Then can you tell me who are these people following you?"

All throughout her conversation with her brother, an alarm kept ringing in her head. Instead of answering Sven, she just looked at his eyes.

"Is it Eric Copper? Is he the person you offended?" Sven was just met with a silent answer.

"Are you the person he was looking a while ago?" Sven's face was twisted. His mind immediately worked. He knew that there were two influential figures in this Country X. They are Devon Goori and Eric Copper.

Sheri didn't answer and kept her silence. With a sudden realization, Sven shouted and shook her shoulders.

"What?.... What did you do? Sheri, how many times we warned you about him! What did you do?"

Sven was feeling worried for her and their family. He knows how scary Eric is. Sheri allowed Sven to shout at her and be angry. When Sven calms down a little.

"That's the reason why I am here. This is the only time I can compensate for what will happen. Listen to me Sven, believe me just for this moment." Sheri begged Sven. His brother was in despair as he put his hand on his face and sat on the couch and closed his eyes. It will be over if ever his sister did something.

"Sven, I know I made a terrible mistake. I cannot correct it and will not also seek justice because I know it will just return and might even inflict our family. I need to act fast before they do. As I said a while ago, transfer all of the money we have. Send it to that bank and wipe every trace. Get our family out of this country and live far away. Stay low and make sure they don't trace where you're going. Ask Uncle Ben, he was once a spy. He was well versed in this kind of situation, and he knows what to do." Sheri seriously instructed and held his brother's shoulder.

Sven was shocked. How did her little sister know about Uncle Ben being once a spy? He and his father are the only ones who knew he was once a spy.

Sven was silent the whole time. He looked at her.

"I have no clue why are you doing this? Do you want money? Tell me how much you want?" he calmly said.

Sheri knows Sven is not yet convinced. She saw the newspaper that was on the table next to Sven. She picks it up and hands him over.

"Are you the one who pushed her?"

"They have already found out. They didn't make a move because they want to seize their time...."Sheri stop from explaining. Tears start to fall on her cheek.

"Sheri, what have you done?" Sven was shocked. It is over now. Their business, their life, everything.

Sheri wiped her tears and look at the disappointment face of her brother. It pains her.

"Sven, I am the reason why. Please, I am imploring you for their sake. I will try to survive this. I promise." Sheri gently said.

"How? Tell me how you are going to survive. You have been spoiled all your life. You have no knowledge of how to survive in the wilderness. How? Tell me how you are going to survive." Sven was shouting while combing his hair. He doesn't know anymore what to do.

Sheri stood up and went to where his computer is. She lost all her knowledge in her mission world, but she retained all the knowledge in her own world. Her finger started typing at a fast speed.

"I need you to log in to our account" She positioned the laptop to him which made him shocked.

"How did you know all of this?" Sven was flabbergasted.

He cannot comprehend what is happening. He doesn't believe that her dumb sister can be so smart overnight.

"Wait, who are you?" Sven starts to doubt who she is.

She didn't hesitate and told everything about him from when they were young until they are grown. She told every little secret he has and everything about him. She mentioned something that only she and he knew about during the time they played outside their home. Also, the time he hid the chocolate from their parents, where he kept his treasure maps and what he said toward their parents. Those were the things no one can ever know.

It gave Sven a shock as he looked at his sister. Those things really happened and only he and she knew about those things. She even detailed the events. It is no doubt she is Sheri. Rushed of worry can be seen in his face.

"How about you?" Sven looked up.

"This is my fight. It's either they go or I will" She thought to herself.

"I need to stay here to make them busy. I need cash and we only have a few hours left before they found out I am with you." Sheri kneeled in front of his brother. Sven shook his head. This was her younger sister and their parents would be devastated if even they found out the truth.

She was running out of time as she calculated how much longer until they found out the truth.

"Sven we are running out of time. You heard Eric while ago. He was very angry. Haven't you notice that the way he smiles is creepy?"

Sven recalled while ago. Indeed, he has a feeling that Eric is concealing something. For so long that he was attempting to persuade Eric to partner with them with a project. Eric always turns them down. Suddenly, out of the blue. Eric himself went to the Hoal company and ask for a collaboration of a project.

Sven was looking at the project Eric offered. It will cost them a lot of billions but since Eric said that they will gain it back. Sven agrees to it. He believes in Eric's capability and since there is no reason why Sven would doubt.

He looked at her sister. After thinking. He decided to believe in her this once.

He then logged in their account. After logging in, Sheri immediately went to work and transferred all the money as well as the assets of their family to another foreign bank. Once it was successful, she eradicated every trace possible.

"Here, I have downloaded the project that Eric offered that you have agreed. So many factors were wrong. Data that was altered, etc. read it. You still have 24 hours to alter what I did if you think I am lying. If you don't Tomorrow, you will be declared bankrupt. All I am begging you is to pull our family out ASAP. Leave and go abroad" Sheri looked at Sven. His expression kept on changing every minute.

He started to read the data that Sheri made based on the project that Sven and Eric collaborated. Sven was taken aback. He directly gathers all the files regarding the project and compares the data. It was indeed altered. It was very subtle that cannot be seen. Sven felt weak and sit down. He looks at Sheri.

"Is there another option?" Sven asked.

Sheri shakes her head. Luckily Sheri knew this project in her own world. This was the project that many company went down the hill because they didn't see how the project works.

"Wait. I will pull some strings and ask for help." Sven was about reached for his phone, but Sheri stopped him.

"Sven, you have no idea how powerful these people are. You cannot call anyone. Instead, go to the main mansion and pull them out immediately!" Sheri begged him once more.

"I have already put aside a few million in another account for me to use." Sheri looked at the clock and saw that it's time. She picked the wallet of his brother with a few hundred bills on it. She took them and stuffed it on her pants. She packed fast, taking some T-shirts, jogging pants and sweatshirts from his brother's closet. Afterward, she went to the bathroom and removed her smeared makeup and in a firm decision, cut her hair. Wearing her brother's cap, she went out and approached her brother giving him a tight embrace.

Sven was still processing everything that is happening. It was all of a sudden. Seeing her sister with her hair cut, he didn't know what to feel.

"Take care," Sheri said with the last kiss on his cheek. Without looking back, she went out of the apartment and ran towards the exit of the building. She knew that her brother was already convinced. He was smart enough. Sven was supposed to pull her and let her stay but Sheri moved fast before her brother imprisoned her.

It was already the middle of the night. Carefully being discreet, she took a taxi and asked the driver to drive to the city. The driver looked back at the mysterious woman but never said anything.

Arriving in the city, she went straight to a motel. She chose this place knowing that there is not much CCTV or any camera in the area. She then asked for the key for room 1. She settled herself in the room and talked to the system.

"System, is there a way you can make sure my family will be alright?"

"No host. I can't or else it will affect you. Host, you have already violated the rules." The system answered.

"I am already in the punishment world, forget about the rules." She nonchalantly uttered.

"Host you can't do that," The human-robotic yet has insisted.

"Enough! This is very important to me." Sheri was firm. In her own world, she had totally changed her life there. Her family is secured but in this world, it's not the same case. For her preventing that to happen was already good, and the consequence sure won't be good." Sheri thoroughly thought about it.

"Host..."

"Enough. I will suffer the consequence alone anyway." She angrily said in her mind.

After that, she never heard anything from the system.

On the other side of the town, Eric was shouting and punching the two people who were tasked to kidnap Sheri.

"You idiots! I told you to bring her here, immediately!" Eric was beyond mad.

"Boss, we thought..." The kidnapper of Sheri wasn't able to continue what he was about to say when Eric punches him in his face.

"I want you to get her back and don't ever come back here without her. Scram!" Eric fiercely yelled at them.

The two men get up from their position and walked out of the room. Eric combed his hair in frustration and went to his veranda. He lit a cigarette and looked at the darkness in deep thought.

"Sheri Hoal, I will find you," Eric said while putting off his cigarette on the ashtray laid on the table.

Sheri at that time was trying her best to sleep. She was trying to figure out about her next move. This would surely be a tough journey.

After thinking and planning for 2 hours, tiredness and exhaustion took over her body making her fall asleep.
