"Brigham!" At that moment, Nigel suddenly looked over. "You're an adult now. You need to learn to take responsibility for your actions."
Brigham paused for a moment, then reluctantly turned to Yolanda and said, "You're ruthless!"
With that, he turned back to Nigel. "Grandpa, I'll go for a run now..."
Floyd, watching Brigham's reluctant compliance, chuckled. "Ms. Henderson, it seems you're the only one who can keep him in line."
Yolanda redirected her gaze. "He lacks exercise, which makes him prone to nervous breakdowns. Making him run isn't just about punishment."
With that, she returned to the living room to say goodbye to Nigel.
"Ms. Henderson, this is the agreed-upon reward." Nigel handed her a check for 100 million. "As for the shares, I'll expedite the paperwork to transfer them to your name."
He worried she might refuse, so he quickly added, "Please don't decline, Ms. Henderson. This is what you deserve. If you don't accept it, I won't be at ease!"
Yolanda thought for a moment and finally accepted the check. Afterward, Zach and Derek also bid farewell to Nigel.
Once outside the Hansen residence, Derek stopped Yolanda. "Ms. Henderson, I also have 100 million... I was planning to give it as a gift for becoming your disciple, but since you won't accept me, let's consider it tuition for the techniques you've taught me."
She pushed the check back. "We agreed I'd teach you for free. I can't accept this."
"But..." He felt a bit uncomfortable.
