The banquet hall of the Pearl Hotel was bustling with activity. Pearl Hotel was one of the top hotels in the country owned by Mu Heng. He decided to hold Erika's first-month celebration in the hotel. He would also use the opportunity to introduce Mu Lan to his relatives and business partners.
The banquet hall could accommodate 300 guests. Since it was a baby's first-month celebration, the party started at 4:00 pm.
Erik wanted to take back his wife and child the moment they were discharged from the hospital but the Mu grandfather and grandsons strongly objected. They wanted to celebrate the baby's first month with them and besides they had not introduced Mu Lan yet.
When Mu Heng saw that Erik was stubborn and was firm in his decision to bring back his precious granddaughter and great-granddaughter to Malacan, Mu Heng resulted in a moral kidnapping. He reminded Erik that if not for him, Aryana could have died along with the little princess in her stomach.
