Chapter 883 Keeping A Wolf 

“Alex, I heard there’s a nice amusement park in Jadeborough, and I think Stanley will love it. Do you want to bring him there and have a look?” Stannis appeared at Alex’s hotel room once again and inquired enthusiastically. 

“Daddy, can we go to the amusement park that Mr. Zita mentioned?” Stanley looked at Alex expectantly. 

Alex did not answer Stanley immediately. Instead, he placed a triangular block on a few building blocks to form a miniature house. 

While gently rubbing Stanley’s head, Alex shot Stannis a meaningful look before returning his gaze to Stanley. “Sure! Since we came here to play, it doesn’t make sense to just stay in the hotel room. Let’s go to the amusement park that Mr. Zita recommends.” 

Alex stood up and took hold of Stanley’s hand while calling out to Maggie, who was reading a book. Looking at Stannis, he said, “Stannis, please lead the way!” 

“You can count on me!” Stannis replied eagerly. Immediately, he happily headed toward the basement to retrieve the car without realizing something was wrong with Alex. 

Maggie approached Alex and asked puzzledly. “Don’t you have a good impression of Stannis? Why is it that your expression was a bit off just now?” 

With a smile, Alex replied, “People can change. At first, I thought he was a good guy as he was friendly toward me without knowing who I was.” 

Maggie looked at Alex with confused eyes as she tried to decipher his words. 

Seeing Maggie’s confused look, Alex explained. “However, my perception changed when I heard him talking briefly about the story of him and his girlfriend. I don’t despise people for taking shortcuts to achieve their ambition. But, I don’t like to be made use of and have others deliberately try to please me.” There was something else that Alex did not mention. When he was lecturing Daphne in the house that day, he was aware Stannis was standing outside eavesdropping on them. 

If he could be so heartless toward his long-time girlfriend, he could easily turn his back on anyone. Keeping such a person close by was akin to keeping a wolf. Should the tide turn against it, it would not hesitate to bite its owner! 

Maggie was not stupid; she quickly caught on to Alex’s concern. It was just that she did not give it much thought previously. 

Nonetheless, Maggie and Alex were not too worried. They believed Stannis would not pose threat.

The thing bothering Alex the most now was the outdoor trip. He was not happy when Stannis suggested heading outdoors as he was worried about bumping into people from the Wallace family. 

Fonzo had a special medicine that Alex could not create at his current level. 

Given that Fonzo worked for the Wallace family, that meant there must be someone more powerful in the family. Additionally, Alex had ruffled their feathers previously by using Hans’ phone to threaten Jared.
