Getting a huge heritage to pay for everything would completely negate all what he just said. So I don't believe that there is a huge heritage coming soon, but maybe in the long run (after college). (Besides : the cash limit in the game is $$$$$.)
We don't know if mc's mom (Lynette) had siblings. Her dad was likely a tycoon and when he dies, mc will be one of the heirs. I think that the letter informs mc in first place about the (smaller) heritage he gets from his mom, maybe including a personal letter she wrote before her death. Maybe we will also get a longer flashback telling the story of Lynette and Neil 20 years ago.
If mc inherits enough money, he could pay for Maya's tuition and make her independent from her father as well as Quinn, but I am not sure if Maya would accept this gift. She would probably then feel dependent from mc which could have a negative effect on their relationship.
It's all well and good saying that kind of thing when you don't have any money, but what happens when you do have it? That would be the point of the MC suddenly inheriting a lot of money. Not to negate what he says about hard work and not relying on others to pay your way for you, but to test the resolve of his own words.Nice theory but then the speech at the end of the episode 5 was basically for nothing if the MC acepts the money
Will he turn it down on principle, or will he accept it knowing that it can help others? Or will he not be able to choose and will simply be given it, and how will this affect people's perceptions of him if it's found out? Imagine it; the MC comes to be seen as the new "golden boy" of B&R which would piss off people like Tybalt and Tommy, could affect his relationship with the DIKs if they view him as a hypocrite, could also affect his relationship with Jill who likes the fact that he's not a typical trust fund kid, and could set Quinn's sights on him even more as a way for her to pay off her debts. And as for Maya, I think that it would be a positive for their relationship and that she'd feel grateful to him.
The MC would, of course, not want to be seen this way and not like the fact that he now has all this money and we could see him struggle with the weight of it and then, at the end, get rid of it because he never wanted it in the first place and feels he's better off without it. So, all in all, there's lot of scope and potential here for some interesting consequences and story developments should the MC suddenly find himself one of the wealthiest people on campus with a famous name behind him.
