Chapter 85 - Look at Clara for help

Hearing Tim's word, Alex couldn't believe his ears. He has always wondered how his father always seem to have an upper hand, cause no matter what, Leo still possess the company.

He could kill his father without stress, 'so it's because of me?' he thought as his vision began to go blurry from the suffocation.

Even his own father didn't care about him that much. He has sent him here alone to prove himself useful by making the world know about Leo's condition, not minding what might happen to him after. But the person he has came to humiliate was actually trying to save him right now.

"Who is that man? he's going to kill the boy." some people started muttering among themselves but no one near them.

Most of the people there are influential people in the society, and those that recognise Tim knew not to get involved in his business, or they might piss him off in the process, so they just kept enjoying the show.

No one revealed his identity either, as they knew he would later find out who messes with him. Most of the ladies in the hall were all in shock and was scared silly. Mostly those who came to get onto his bed later on and get his help for one thing or the other, while Leo was also a potential target today. 

He seem flirty on the news after all, and they believe birds of the same feather flock together. Since Tim is promiscuous, Leo should be the same.

"That's what happened when he is pissed," Sharon who has seen the worst side of Tim when she's still dating Leonard, said to Angela who was now shaking in fright.

Leo quickly look at Clara to seek her help, as she's the only option now. 

Clara was not willing to get involved but couldn't resist Leo pleading expression. He looked so scared and helpless, like she is his only hope right now.

Clara walked closer to Tim, who wondered why she's coming towards him until she touched his hand, making him look into her eyes.

"Let him go." she said. 

Tim heard her voice in his head and  release Alex, while stepping back subconsciously as if he was pushed

Leo quickly held Alex from falling and  handed him to Mike, "get him help quickly and send him home afterward." he said.

Alex heard Leo's word and a drop of tears escaped his eyes before he lost consciousness completely. 

Mike carried him on his left shoulder like a sack of beans and took him out of the venue.

Everyone who knew Tim was dumbfounded. Tim actually let the man go, just because of the bodyguard's touch?

Even Sharon and Tim's assistant couldn't believe their eyes, as they were very aware that once he set his mind on something, no one can change his mind, especially when it involves killing those that crosses the line. 

"Are you okay?" Leo went closer to Tim who still has his eyes glued on Clara and held his right hand to his shoulder.

Tim couldn't understand what just happened. He hasn't really plan to kill the boy in the first place. 

He only wanted to make him unable to use that mouth of his for a long time by crushing his pipe ,but when Leo stood up for the boy, he snapped and finally decided to kill him. 

And he knew how he become when his victim was close to death in his hand, he felt this urge to kill them quickly and couldn't be reason with anymore, but how did Clara make him snapped back?

He started to doubt maybe he was more interested in Clara than he had imagined.

He planned to find out how much he was into Clara after the banquet, because this is very surprising and weird to him.

Did he let him go because he just couldn't resist Clara?

He doubted that, but what happened?
