A day has passed without a meal for Michael and for a diabetic this treatment was unfair and cruel. Arthur comes to Michael with a contract, that is to give him all his assets and he will let Michael free and Michael informs him that the power he seek lies with Zoete not him.
It was easy for Arthur and Patrica to get the Corp branch division in South Africa but for the main Corp in London, they need his power of attorney. Suddenly, Arthur's mobile rings, he answers impatient and without a hello, the warning come "you never knew me but you are about too and this time you shall leave my family alone".
The line drops, Arthur tease Michael "wow I am so scared your little pet is threatening me". A fatigue Michael laughs "if I were you I will check if I was still bankrupt" and Michael was telling the truth, he knew of his daughter efficacy, sure enough after checking Arthur was in fury as he pointed a gun to Michael.
Before Arthur made the next move, their hideout was discovered and surrounded by the Cape Town police. He was caught red-handed meaning jail time for him and Patrica but what of the money they stole? Arthur laughed as he get on the police van.
Arthur told Michael that all this time he has been winning because blood is thicker than water so he shall be back. Michael and Zoete noted his words and the pieces of the puzzle were being assembled together but what was it? If Arthur knew his mouth provided the enemy with insight, he might vomit blood.
Zoete wanted to investigate more so she stayed back, Michael reported back to the mansion and so were his kids from Richard's Bay but intrigue "how did Zoete knew". While they were in discussion back at the mansion, Zoete call the family phone and asked for Kristen.
"how well do you trust your friends" Kristen replied she never share private family information with them, Samantha ask as the telephone was on speaker, what Kristen done now, Zoete sighed " no, it what Kristen has not done and she's very lucky, who knows what would Arthur have done to her" Zoete continues on the telephone.
Michael informs them that Monique is Arthur's daughter and she was ordered to befriend one of the Mitchell, since Sammy is not in a Arts degree, Kristen was the next target. Monique set up the breaking in of Zoete's room because three years ago, Arthur had thought that Zoete is the hidden agenda.
Luckily they got nothing so Monique became friends with Kristen and tampered with her smartphone, then a program cloned it and on the computer found in Arthur's base had that program. He used the decoy to call Michael to make it appear that Kristen was taken hostage and she is to state his daughter.
Michael fearing that this will come out to the media, he went to meet with them but Patrica had already got hold of his fingerprint. The touch of the glass was the ticket to accessing the company funds. Arriving at the resort given no one came, Michael called Tom to inquire about the wellbeing of the kids.
Tom told him that all teens were on campus so that when Michael ordered them to report home on weekend. A day later, due to the lapse in security and Patrica meticulous planning, he was taken. "when we arrived in the mansion not finding Father, I knew I had to act silently because there is a mole" said Zoete.
Kristen went teary and Samantha comforted her, the family assured her, she should not feel guilty. Shen then turn to Simone, "do you still trust her?" All turned to Simone puzzled, Michael ask Simone and he shyly replied that he was courting Ashley. Fury Samantha was stomping her foot "what?", Zoete still on the phone came to her brother's rescue saying Ashley is not the enemy nor Monique.
Monique's faults lied with her father, she was just following his orders. The weekend was over, the teens reported back to varsity with Tom while their father payed Arthur a visit in prison. Kristen was still touch by Monique's deeds, when her friends saw her walking with Sammy not approaching them, Ashley and Monique were confused.
The story of the disappearance of Michael Mitchell and the arrest of the financial mogul Arthur hit the front page of many news outlets whether online or print. When Monique got hold of it, she became aware of Kristen's distance, she went teary and texted Kristen, "I am sorry for causing trouble"
Ashley was at crossroads about her friends and went to seek a shoulder to cry on to Simone. Unfortunately Simone response was he was not available to see her. She got even more worried. What happens now? what is the truth Zoete and Michael seek? Will Ashley and Simone path fall before it even begin? Will Kristen forsake her friends? Were do Zoete and Herny stand?
