"Accident"? That's a little dark. I don't think Jacques would go all that far. So far, he's just given the inheritance over to the next sibling. Either he'd have to give it to another relative or someone outside the family, or he'll have to change his tactic completely. Or maybe he already has all the control he needs over Whitley; we've already seen that Whitley is more scared of his father than Winter and Weiss ever were. It'll be interesting to see how he exerts power over his last born. Of course, you have a point that there's plenty Jacques could do if he changes his approach; and Whitley doesn't have the abilities Winter and Weiss have, so he can't just take off like they did. But whatever Jacques does, he'll need an heir and he'll need to preserve a passable reputation. That's gonna get harder for him now.

On the other hand, Whitley might prove to be a lot more cunning than Winter or Weiss, eventually holding his own better than they did. What's that quote from Hamilton? "You keep out of trouble, and you double your choices." In any case, I hope we see more of Whitley. If written well, he could turn out to be one of the most interesting Schnees.
