The red herring anon's statements basically require the show's creators to lie to us themselves, not for a in-show character who is already saying they are going to bullshit about another character to have alternate but less desirable ways of achieving the same effect.

Jacques is running the company, which means he has control over it and as one reasonable assume, his succesor. You are assuming that for not to be the case, Nicholas is both alive (nothing for or against really) and has some control over the company (considering it was stated he retired, that's another thing against that).

We are both making assumptions, taking the words as meaning that she had to revoke in order for Whitley to become the heir which is simply not how it works, or that it was the most desirable but not only option available to Jacques.
