Now look at V4. The Trophy Wife was judging all of Vale based on '''one attack. '''Yes. Weiss reacted the same way she reacted to Ruby in Ep. 1 but this time she overeacted against pre-judgment and not in support of it. She has come full circle. That is growth. Except she judged everyone in the room about not giving a shit about Vale, based on the Trophy Wife's comment and Shitty Neptune's ignorance. It's dumb to judge 20 people for 2 of them. So she's overreacting against prejudice by being prejudicious.

Another thing that should be noted regarding Weiss and Whitley, is the way they deal with the bullshit around them.

-Weiss beared with it but eventually snapped, and made a ruckus without caring about the consequences neither then nor afterwards. Then she snapped again and insulted her father to his face by hitting a seemingly-sensitive subject. Then she accuses her brother of wanting her own lost of the inheritance of the company.

-Whitley stayed quiet, listening and smiling, being obedient and not doing anything in particular. The only time he stopped doing that was after the aforementioned accusation, where he simply said that rebelling agaisnt Jacques is foolish, which is a bit reasonable given how, according to Weiss, Jacques would basically make their lives more difficult whenever he was too stressed, like when being sabotaged by the WF.

Now, of course, the very reason Weiss snapped back then was due to a combination of stress factors; Jacques being Jacques, her perceived apathy of the Rich Snobs for Vale, on top of any pressure she already had from being the Heiress.

....But, contrary to popular belief, these things will not just vanish if she becomes the CEO.

The Rich Snobs won't magically become better people just because she became CEO. She also can't just "kick them out" if she doesn't want to deal with their bullshit, because just like she can refuse to deal with them, they can refuse to deal with her.

And if she wants to get the best deals for things she wants, or needs, either for herself or the company, it is best to be in their good graces. What if, say, she needs some of the Mining Robot Animals from Starhead Industrial Company, but SIC's CEO doesn't like her much? She either pays full price or improvises something up.

At the same time, even though she won't have Jacques making her life difficult, it changes nothing, because the life of a CEO of a company of practically-worldwide importance is very stressful by itself. And that's without taking into account things like certain groups sabotaging the SDC like the WF and Grimm do at the moment.

And then there's dealing with Ironwood and the Atlesian Military. Since the SDC is based on Atlas, and they literally own the place, she must bear with them, no matter how radical their decisions are or how much the impact her business, as is the case right now.
