Hendrix gripped the handle of his teacup tighter after hearing Vaughn Wilson's "request."

If it wasn't for the young duke's threat earlier, he would have already left the drawing room to check on his daughter. He was worried about Zoe ever since he felt the burst of demonic power in her room earlier.
