Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 986

The once ordinary gathering had quickly transformed into a battlefield to obtain Amazon discount prices. Shaun kept reopening the link that Samantha sent him, watching as the price dropped lower and lower, feeling quite pleased.

Samantha would surely be surprised if they managed to cut down the price enough to get her the phone.

Watching as the price went down, Shaun felt success was within reach. However, the progress suddenly stalled.

"Why isn't it working?" He looked around.

His friends exchanged awkward glances. "Mr. Thompson, this is as far as I can help. My mom even kicked me out of the family group chat."

"My mom thinks my phone has a virus and kicked me out too. She said I need to confirm my identity before I can rejoin."

"Consider yourselves lucky. My dad not only kicked me out but blocked me too."

Shaun fell silent. "You can't even get the price down by one more dollar?"

"Mr. Thompson, this is just one of Amazon's tricks. It might take a hundred more users to get even a single-dollar discount. There was even a live-streamer who had 6,000 fans to help slash down the price. And they still couldn't complete it after two hours. If it's alright with you, I could buy Samantha a phone myself," offered one of the hostesses.

Shaun's brows furrowed together. "What a shit app!"

But would Samantha not have the money to buy a phone? No, of course not. She had finally reached out to him, and he wanted to give her a gift.

He suddenly had an idea. Bernard was a skilled hacker and might be able to work some magic on the backend. With this in mind, Shaun stepped out into the hallway and called Bernard. "Bernard, are you awake?"

…

Meanwhile, Samantha kept checking her phone for a reply from Shaun, growing increasingly annoyed at the lack of response. She had swallowed her pride to reach out. Yet he hadn't responded!

She shut off her phone and decided to shower and sleep, vowing to ignore him.

But she couldn't sleep, tossing and turning for hours. Eventually, she gave in and checked her phone again at 3:00 am, but she still saw no message from Shaun.

She considered blocking him out of anger. Suddenly, she received a notification from Amazon. "Congratulations! The iPhone 14 you've been eyeing is having a promotion. Please grab it while the promotion is still in effect."

Samantha was confused. Why was there a price cut?
