As someone with a bit controlling (thankfully not in Jacques level controlling) parents, I can understand Whitley's mentality at least a little. As a kid I had some what same aproach with them as him: It's foolish not to do as Father asks. The things just tended to go much smoother when I didn't argue against my parents wishes.

I mean what else could Withley even do? He isn't old enough to enrol in huntsman academy, an excuse both Winter and Weiss used to ran away. He has seen in two different occasion that arguing with Jacques will only make the man angrier and makes his mother upset (and leading her to drink even more). Being the perfect heir and son Jacques wants is just his way to survive.

And him being jealous towards his older sisters. Well, as far as we know becoming the next CEO of SDC is all he has to aim for. He has no skills to become a specialist like Winter or a huntsman like Weiss. So why could his sisters have both their "amazing dream careers" and the company to top of that while leaving him having nothing? The current system is only fair. Or at least, I think Whitley sees both Winter and Weiss as realy selfish people for trying to claim otherwise.

-And before someone says it. Yes, he is still "Shitley" and a spoiled brat who has a great potential of becoming even worse, manipulative no-good business man, only caring about profit. I just also happen to think that his actions have one of the better excuses compared to other antagonist in the show.
