This is a quick summary of what has been a slow reveal over a number of chapters:
Dr. Chapman used one of Dr. Sarah Campbell's eggs (the MC's Mom) with a woman who volunteered to be part of a study about this new means of fertilization for couples who had difficulty conceiving.
It turns out that the woman who was implanted with Sarah's egg was Jaye's mom and, unknown to either James or the MC's mom, Jaye is (or may be depending on the cliff hanger at the end of the most recent chapter) the MC's half-sister because they share a common mother, based on DNA.
One great irony of this is that James, Jaye's dad, and Sarah, the MC's mom, would later marry, making Jaye and the MC officially stepsiblings (and as mentioned above - perhaps more based on the outcome of any subsequent DNA testing).
Cheers!!

To me this whole business of dubious blood relations seems an unnecessary complication. The characters would not be blood related, an absurd situation is created whereby they would be, then denied and now questioned. At first this incest/non-incest was fun. Now it is becoming harassing

Since Pax already gave you a perfect explanation I'll just add that Dr Chapman didn't steal any baby. He was however obsessed with Sarah Campbell. And when she left the company to create Polygene and Pregnia, his obsession became worse until he actually created a clone of her, using her genetic material. That clone is, of course, Mallory Chapman. His "daughter".
You got things all mixed up.
Pregnia was the non-functional Prizer pregnancy drug that Sarah used to work on before she left that company.
Prizer is wrongfully suing Polygene based on the false premise that Sarah took Pregnia research to found her own Polygene.

Oh you may be right. It's been quite a while since I played the story from the start. I thought "Pregnia" was a Polygene drug that Prizer believed was based on their IP. Thanks for the clarification.

Well ... They wear Towels anyway ... So MC need just turn around and let those two Biatches alone. He just has to stay if the Towels fall off.

It's hard to classify P as a out and out villain though - it's more like he's misunderstood.
It's a trope that's commonly used on antagonists - you give them a detailed background to give them humanity, so that they appear that they are not out and out evil.
SFS aren't doing that with their villains though - the Pfizer boss and Vince (the hitman) don't have redeeming qualities. Sure, they are presented as Bond villains - unrealistically evil, but that's their role in the story and someone has to do it.
I hate it when devs add a bunch of villains then they shape them out as grey characters and in the end there are no villains in the story.

either there is a huge plot hole in the early chapters or the parents, although not classic villains, are the antagonist in Jaye and MC's relationship
even though they then pretend to have wanted to remain neutral
How is James a villian? If nothing else he's presented in the story as a pretty flawless good guy.
Except that's not the Prizer boss, it's Jaye's father.

Never said that it was the Prizer boss. I was giving the Prizer boss as an example to the guy I replied to, since the topic of the post was villains to begin with.
