Madam Rome was already unconvinced, and now she was even more hysterical: "Why should I apologize to her! You damn bastard! You don't speak up for me, but you actually support this temptress! Tell me, did she seduce you?"
"You shameless little bitch! Not only did you seduce my son, but now you're seducing my husband too! You've bewitched them both! What kind of sorcery have you used!"
"Shut up!" Neil Rome yelled, the fear in his eyes growing more intense. He hurriedly turned to Xaviera Evans, frightened and apologetic: "Miss Evans, please don't bother with this foolish woman, she's just a shrew who likes to throw tantrums. I'm really sorry!"
The crowd was shocked by Neil Rome's groveling, and Madam Rome was stupefied. How could she allow her husband to apologize so humbly to this little temptress?
