I still say the reason Whitley seems to be the only happy child, and Daddy's favorite, is because he himself has never had the burden of having to inherit the company because originally it was Winter's until she left to join the military, and now it's on Weiss. A lot of Schnee's treatment of Weiss seems to be directly in benefit of the company, hence why he's trying to use Weiss, the next owner of the company, and also Huntress-in-Training who witnessed what happened at Beacon, to try to convince people that Atlas had no stake in what happened (despite SDC tech being used by the WF, so I'm sure that even if it's not Jacques himself, there's a mole somewhere in the SDC who's been giving tech to the WF). And so long as Jacques sees Weiss as a scapegoat, he's going to continue to treat her like nothing but, at least from what we can gather so far. We've still got a lot to learn, I'm sure.
