**My Reborn Admirer Wins Over My Heart**

**Chapter 104: The Counterattack**

Oriana, with a determined look, halted Lily’s frantic gestures as she flailed in distress.

“Oriana?” Lily’s voice trembled with confusion, her eyes wide and searching.

With a calm resolve, Oriana reached into her bag and produced a sleek black card, its surface gleaming under the dim light. “I’ll take care of it. Lily, call the police,” she instructed, her tone firm yet reassuring.

Lily’s gaze snapped up to Oriana, her face a canvas of tears and disbelief. “We can’t call the police! We can’t go to the police station!” Panic laced her words as she shook her head, her heart racing.

Oriana, unfazed, offered a gentle smile and brushed away the tears that had stained Lily’s cheeks. “We’re the ones making the call, Lily. It’s not us who will end up in trouble at the station.” Her confidence was a balm for Lily’s frayed nerves.

“Us?” The realization began to dawn on Lily, though she struggled to grasp the full implications of Oriana’s words.

Oriana’s gaze sharpened as she turned to the visibly distressed Hunter, her voice slicing through the tension like a knife. “Since you’re employing the logic of a robber, claiming we should have known the price of the Romanée–Conti, let’s allow the police to determine who is in the right here.”

Hunter felt as if he had been struck by a sudden bolt of lightning, the shock coursing through him like ice water. His mind raced, grappling with the absurdity of the situation.

He stared at Oriana’s black card, the mention of the police hanging in the air like a heavy fog. How could these ordinary female students wield such power? The very thought sent a chill down his spine.

This was not just a simple case of dining and dashing; the stakes had escalated dramatically. Hunter was acutely aware of the implications, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead as panic clawed at him.

He had never anticipated that a young girl could possess such audacity and intellect. It was unnerving, and he found himself at a loss for how to respond. Internally, he was in a frenzy, though he maintained a facade of calm on the outside.

With a hollow laugh, he attempted to regain control. “Our restaurant has clearly marked prices. Even if you call the police, they won’t find any fault with us. In fact, your disturbance could lead to you being liable for all resulting losses. We also reserve the right to sue!” His voice wavered slightly, betraying his anxiety.

Oriana, however, appeared to have an epiphany. She tapped her chin thoughtfully, a glint of mischief in her eyes. “Oh right, it’s my fault. We shouldn’t call the police.”

Hunter’s heart momentarily lifted, a sigh of relief escaping him.

Just a young person, after all. Scared by his bluster, she seemed to have lost her footing.

But before he could savor this moment of triumph, Oriana turned her attention back to Lily, who was still trembling and confused. “Lily, call the Consumer Association. Oh, and remember, our college has a good relationship with the Law School next door at Jindiwood University. Do you know any students from the Law Department?”

Lily’s eyes were still glistening with unshed tears as she replied hesitantly, “No… but I remember last year, a law student from Jindiwood University sued a merchant over a twenty-dollar takeout meal, claiming fraudulent consumption. He even got a thousand dollars in compensation! He became famous overnight and posted in the college forum, offering to take on such cases. Wait, aren’t we being defrauded too? Yes, we can find that senior!”

By the end of her sentence, a spark of realization ignited within Lily.

Oriana was incredible; she was actually turning the tables!

A wave of satisfaction washed over Oriana. “Yes, let’s reach out to him for help. We’ll cover the costs.”

Lily, gradually catching up to Oriana’s momentum, wiped her tears and joined the fray with newfound determination.

“Oriana, should we also consider getting a reporter involved? Our college has its own media promotion team.”
