If we were to try converting novel chapters in the manhwa, I'd say we still have another 30 to 40 chapters before Riftan finds out about how Maxi was truly treated. Without massive spoilers, it will a satisfying event to unfold: Riftan's gulit, Maxi's helplessness and the final outcome were really well handed by the author.
To all the manhwa readers waiting for proper development, it starts NOW. This is the arc in the novel where we see more growth in Maxi's character and when she begins communicating better. Even Riftan has moments of growth during this part of the story. Do be patient, this story was written as a slow burn to build the characters realistically under the time period. If slow burns aren't for you, feel free to drop the story for a bit and come back when the chapters start piling up :)
