Harrison suddenly called her. He must be calling me because of the press conference earlier today.

Knowing that there was a chance that the call would turn ugly, she asked her kids to leave.

Connor saw the incoming call on Natalie's phone. Mommy won't let us listen to this. Sighing, he pulled Sharon back to their room.
