i think the story is focusing on jhon and nicole/mc right now, mc still got alot work to do to taking down jhon empire.
Very true, but I think that will take a long time. On the one hand we are faced with a ruthless businessman expert in dirty tactics and with certain domination fetishes, when relating to married women and/or committed to men he knows and/or with whom he has business. On the other hand, MC is simply a young man just out of high school, madly in love with the businessman's wife, whose husband has hired him in his real estate agency.
Taking into account that Orb seems to keep the story as realistic as possible, without any deus ex machina in sight, it is most likely that MC will have to ally himself with many more people, since Silvia I don't think she will be much more help. In addition, there are the new subplots of that hooded woman (who seems to be the owner of the clothing store from Day 19) and the Baker sisters (the news clippings that John had on his computer could be a simple investigation of her family background, but it raises serious questions about what John is really capable of doing).
Additionally, Nicole's pregnancy provides John with the chance to hit a very weak spot with both MC and Nicole. On the other hand, John, doing what he does and how he does it, must have several contingency plans to stop any attempt against him and his business. Therefore, I think it was good for MC that he did not emerge victorious on his own against Beeman, since that will cause him to prepare more thoroughly against his true target: John Heavens.
Poor Marilyn, where was she after being knocked out by Beeman? And MC didn't seem to care about her
Considering how Marilyn has behaved towards MC and the fact that Nicole will be too affected after what happened with her daughter and Beeman, it is very normal and justifiable that MC will forget about Marilyn. Also, does Marilyn really deserve MC's concern? In my opinion, not at all.
