Richest Mogul

Chapter 1768

Two weeks later, on a Sunny Saturday with a clear blue sky, Skylar and Joe decided to take Vivian on a hiking trip.

The weather had been gloomy recently, so the clear skies felt like a rare gift. They chose a mountain trail they had never explored before, driving over two hours to reach it. At the foot of the trail, Vivian spotted a stone wall nearby.

The wall, man-made and riddled with small holes, had signs explaining that these were homes for baby snakes.

"Mom, there are snakes in those holes," Vivian exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with curiosity as she leaned closer, hoping to spot one slithering out.

"They're probably resting inside. It's not their active time right now," Joe explained.

The hiking trail was lively, with families enjoying the sunny Saturday. The children, full of curiosity, gathered around the wall to peer into the holes.

Unfortunately, some children were overly mischievous, poking sticks into the holes while their parents looked on indifferently.

One child even shouted gleefully, "I'm going to kill these snakes!"

His parents chuckled but made no effort to stop him.

Vivian frowned, tugging at Skylar's sleeve. "Mom, they're being so rude. That's the baby snakes' home."

Before Skylar could respond, a staff member approached to intervene.
