**TITLE: He Returned to Break and Own Me and for His Queen**
**Chapter 105: A Shift in Stance**

Lily had proven to be far more perceptive and astute than he had ever anticipated.

As he observed her, he noticed her gaze was unwavering, direct, and filled with a clarity that was rare. It was not the kind of look one would expect from someone who indulged in deceit, scheming behind the backs of others.

Could it be possible that she was simply adept at concealing her true intentions, burying them so deeply that even he couldn’t fathom them?

After a brief pause, he finally broke the silence, his voice soft and sincere, “Lily, Ms. Sterling, I must extend my sincerest apologies. The fault for today’s mishap lies squarely with my restaurant. As the owner, I take full responsibility.”

Hunter, quick to seize the moment, stepped in with a sense of urgency. “I’m truly sorry. The blame for today’s incident rests entirely on my shoulders as the restaurant manager. Mr. Pendragon, I implore you to allow me a chance to make amends. Let me cover the cost of this meal for you and your companion.”

Oriana raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued.

“You’re actually willing to pay?”

Lily’s expression shifted to one of skepticism as she scrutinized the manager’s sudden change in demeanor. “Do you really have the funds for that? You’re not planning to secretly call the police on us for dining and dashing later, are you?”

Hunter felt a surge of desperation, wishing he could lay bare his heart to prove his loyalty. “How could I even think of that!”

With determination, he seized the bill, tearing it in half with decisive movements, and turned to the server, “Please, put it on my account.”

The server glanced at Arthur, seeking his silent approval, and upon receiving it, nodded in agreement.

Lily let out a soft snort, “Didn’t someone just threaten to blacklist us?”

Hunter took a deep breath, trying to maintain his composure. “That was merely a misunderstanding. Would you both be so kind as to provide your information? Spending over a hundred thousand in our establishment today qualifies you for an immediate upgrade to Gold Star Membership, which means you can enjoy dining without the need for reservations. I’ll personally ensure your needs are catered to on your future visits!”

Since the opening of Refe, securing a table had become an arduous task, making this offer quite enticing.

Lily hesitated, leaning closer to Oriana’s car, whispering, “Oriana, do you think we should still reach out to the Consumer Association and our legal senior brother?”

Oriana blinked, her expression thoughtful as she replied, “What’s your instinct telling you?”

Lily cast a glance at Arthur. “Maybe we should let this slide? After all, my brother and Arthur have been friends since childhood…”

Oriana smiled gently, “Alright, if that’s what you prefer.”

A wave of relief washed over Lily. “You truly are generous.”

Hunter, eager to curry favor, chimed in with flattering praise. “Ms. Sterling, your capacity for forgiveness is remarkable. I will certainly take a page from your book and learn from your example!”

Oriana responded with a faint, indifferent smile, her thoughts drifting elsewhere.

Arthur, feeling the weight of the situation, offered his apologies once more, and Hunter respectfully escorted the two ladies out, treating them as honored guests.

As they left, the trio of Luna, Bramwell, and Cormac stood nearby, their expressions a mix of discomfort and disbelief. They had witnessed the entire exchange, hoping to see the two women face some consequences, yet here they were, being treated with unexpected kindness.

Bramwell scoffed, “Tch, acting all mysterious and using a fake black card to impress people. Only they would have the audacity to create such a scene.”
