Whitley seems younger than Weiss, and business-owning families tend to choose an older child to be the heir since they've had more time to learn how to run the business and whatnot, but Winter left to join the military. Jacques might still be holding onto the hope that Weiss won't leave, with Whitley standing by as a backup if Jacques loses Weiss.

Or there could be something else going on. *Shrug*

Overall, I'm really curious and interested to see why, of the three children, Whitley is the only one who's happy.

Hmm. I wonder if Willow was the one who got to choose who will be the heir and chose Weiss. Maybe Jacques has no choice in which child is heir due to not being a Schnee by blood. Maybe there's something about Whitley that Willow doesn't like in terms of an heir, but she likes something about Weiss.
