But I've made sure he paid the price." Rachel let out a hollow laugh, staring at him in disbelief. "Even now, you still think you can control people's lives, like you're skind of ruler. That's what you enjoy, isn't it? Kern, Leona-they were never the real issue! If you hadn't pushed for our collaboration, if you hadn't stood behind them, none of this would have happened.
