Nicola Mitchell’s Deceptive Deal With Eddie
Nicola Mitchell has taken a dangerous gamble to secure her financial future. And this web of lies could ruin her relationship with George Knight forever. Since Nicola was desperate to save her failing business, she secretly entered into a deal with George’s estranged adoptive father.
Elsewhere, Nicola wanted to get the dying man’s cash. Hence, she visited the hospital and successfully charmed a probation officer with a fabricated story. As we know George had previously testified against his father in court. So for sure, the authorities would never allow the convict to live with him.
But Nicola pretended to be the daughter of Eddie’s best friend. And through this way she was allowed to bypass legal restrictions.
Elsewhere, she also felt guilty knowing the entire plan relied on keeping George in the dark about the money. And if the authorities or George ever learn the truth, both her business and her domestic life could be in ruins.
