Bro, I watched you back peddle and move goalposts for 4 pages now. Just take the L ,its embarrassing at this point 
The MC will have more than enough heirs. So from Neil we know that Lynette's father is filthy rich. However, Neil revealed something else. Lynette was an only child. So Neil said that the inheritance would be divided among the family. But there were only the grandparents and the MC himself, no one else. Unless the grandparents divorced and the grandmother married another Reichsman. That rules out a Burgmeister and/or Royce anyway, because the other members of those families are older than the MC.
In all your thinking, you're forgetting one thing. Zoey and the MC were best friends for years.Zoey has no introspection throughout the Interlude and as a result her entire relationship with the MC now looks shallow. She walked away from him to pursue her dream, tried to distance herself based on the advice of a relative stranger, and never reconsidered that policy until she was on the train back home. When Bret asks her what's wrong near the end of the Interlude, Zoey talks first about money, then about not liking the surfer life as she expected, and finally of letting her grandma down.
The MC is a not mentioned. He's not even alluded to until that scene on the train - and even that is too ambiguous for my taste. Her talk is entirely of 'home,' and when she gets home the first thing we see her do is hug her mother. We don't see her try to contact the MC until after she's flopped on her bed and looked at the photo of her grandma. Given that Zoey earlier mentioned how she'd been talking to her mother more than the MC, this reinforces the notion that her feelings for him were an afterthought. I don't think this is what DPC intended and I'm not saying you have to share my interpretation of events, but IMHO the game just doesn't back up the notion that Zoey's relationship with the MC was anything more than a crush.
I'm serious when I say the main girls have blown past her in terms of intimacy with the MC. We'd have been so much better off if DPC had left her time in San Diego up to our imagination and introduced Zoey when the MC met her again in Season 3.
You can follow N7 , he is the one posting the updates, most of the times.
I saw it a little differently.6 months is the length of time it had been since the MC's last message with Zoey when he told Bella about her in Episode 3. From the Interlude, we know that must have happened a relatively short time before Zoey's confrontation with Emma; Zoey talked about going 'weeks' without contacting the MC in the prior scene, not months. And it's been roughly a month since Episode 3 (though the MC has had a new phone for most of that time).
The problem is that Zoey's stated reason for limiting her contact with the MC was to help him strike out on his own, which was based on Bret's advice. But after the confrontation with Emma Zoey learned that advice turned out to be a mistake. Yet she never rethought her decision with regard to the MC; instead she sat on her ass until she ran out of money and HAD to go home.
That's the problem with the Interlude. DPC presents it as Zoey coming to recognize her feelings for the MC, but what he actually showed us was Zoey killing time with her friends until she had no other choice. Sure, she thinks highly of the MC from time to time, but as they say actions speak louder than words. The Interlude isn't about the MC, and as a result Zoey doesn't come across as being motivated by him, either.
DPC has a bad habit of relying on informed attributes rather than reflecting those attributes in game (sort of like how Sage is allegedly surprised if the MC rejects her despite her love life being nothing but rejection). The MC and Zoey say the other is important to them, and thus we should ignore it when neither puts much of a priority on the other. Unfortunately, this time it really bit him on the ass. Not only did the Interlude take time away from the 'main' story development at a particularly important time, but it wound up undercutting the importance of the character it was supposed to be reinforcing.
That sounds nice, but is there any evidence that actually supports it?

I saw it a little differently.
The common misconception that Zoey walked away from the mc to chase her dreams often clouds a lot of impressions of her.
If anything, Zoey took the mc for granted, and while she hoped he would travel with her to San Diego, when he decided to stay Zoey believed it was only temporary, she totally believed he was going to come and join her later on. She definitely saw the mc as part of her life long term, even if she wasn’t thinking romantically.
From her perspective, they were best friends but he started distancing himself from her. From his perspective, when she left he realised they were more than best friends, and it hurt that she left. The mc started to sulk a bit, sending terse, uninterested messages, Zoey doesn't get it why he was acting that way.
Then Bret helps her realise the mc thought of their relationship as more than just best friends, and then he gave her the shit advice of distancing herself from him. So they kinda drifted apart. Him sulking, and her thinking that avoiding him would be for the best.
It's only been several months, so it's not like irreparable damage has been done, and when they meet up, they can talk it out and understand how each other feel. They'll fuck, and then we can start making decisions, just be friends with Zoey, be fuck buddies with Zoey, or ditch all the other LIs and ride the blue-haired babe off into the sunset.
DPC has set this up that the mc is hurt by Zoey's actions and Zoey didn't mean to hurt him. It won't take long before they patch things up. But what he's done with the Interlude is put Zoey front and centre in people's minds. We know Zoey's return is gonna be significant.
I agree that the Zoey story in Interlude is quite ridiculous, a horny and sexually active girl goes to live among surf dudes and becomes suddenly a nun while dating a gay. That's going too low in the story credibility, it's not really pleasing (I found it very boring actually).It's not about boring man it's about how stupid people are.
Let me be clear "Dev is trying to slap every simp, How ? A entire game dedicated to an LI, Yet she(Zoey) didn't fuck anybody( mc only for adding a scene ). In the city where most handsome hunks arrives for play times and holiday but for zoey they didn't exists."
It's Maya situation all over( Feminist sharing a men
Pleasing the player by making everything about mc in the story of zoey. It's a classic move of any great story teller. It's same as Sage or maya ect. problem becomes mc's problem so the story of mc and character can develop.
The basic concept dev is telling : LOOK YOU STUPID FUCKER(PLAYER), she is yours even if it's not possible . DON'T GET ME WRONG I LOVED THE GAME BUT I TRY TO SEE WHAT IS BEHIND THE IDEOLOGY AND NARRATION(best in any vn games).
BUT I WILL ALSO ADMIT GAMES ARE ABOUT PLEASING
Come on... Mc is presented to us as the poorest of the poor, between working to get some extra money fot college and going to San Diego to squander the money he doesn't have there's really no dilemma...
Zoey pays for her holidays with her grandmother's money, the job only serves to prolong them.
Nope. I'm just saying it was a misunderstanding.
Are you trying to argue that zoey's hope that mc would drop everything to reach her made any sense at all? That it is therefore fundamentally mc who has failed zoey's expectations?
What the hell was mc doing in San Diego? The king of simp?
That mc contacted zoey less because she was hurt, however, is your assumption. In long-distance relationships over time it happens more and more rarely.
Why not, she did it for him? Mc is a whore and couldn't resist Josy's charms for more than 2 months.
YOU made him a whore!!!Why not, she did it for him? Mc is a whore and couldn't resist Josy's charms for more than 2 months.
Josy forced herself on me, I was powerless. God is my witness, I tried...YOU made him a whore!!!
My mc has been completely celibate since Zoey left. Well... I actually do have a celibate run, but I also have a few other runs... Like quite a few... OK, ok, he's a whore!
