However, Isabe was determined to marry Jaxon.
The Jennings family had no choice.
Isabe used her tears and threats to make her familypromise.

Nheless, her father, Benjamin Jennings, still refused to give in.
He had long hoped for Vincent to be his son-inw. He thought, Jaxon, that brat. He must have
fooled my daughter. She wouldn’t have changed her mind so quickly otherwise, having vowed to only
marry Vincent. That made him more certain that he could not allow Isabe to marry Jaxon.
To him, Jaxon was a nobody and was not good enough for his precious daughter, He believed Jaxon
was only looking for a chance to start over by joining the Jennings family.

Benjamin ordered, “Keep an eye on Isabe. Don’t let her leave her room without my permission.”
Several bodyguards dressed in ck responded in unison. “Yes, Mr. Jennings.”
Thus, Isabe was grounded.
She was locked in her room every day. Only when it was time for her meals would someone open the
door and deliver her delicious food.
However, Isabe was not in the mood to enjoy these delicacies.
The door would be locked right after the food was delivered. Enraged, she gave it a forceful push, and
the food containers fell to the ground with a tter.
The bodyguards in ck were also troubled. They thought, ‘Ms. Jennings hasn’t eaten since yesterday.
And now she’s breaking the food containers. What should we do?”
Isabe had always treated them well, so even though they were following orders, it pained them to do
so.
In the room, Isabe was pacing around, restless. She was unable to find a way out.
She was ying the sympathy card by refusing to eat. She wanted to make Benjamin feel sorry for her
and agree to let her marry Jaxon.
Chapter 156
Benjamin frowned as he received word from his subordinates that Isabe refused to eat. ‘She’s been
spoiled since childhood, he thought.
Isabe’s mother was also anxious and upset. Regardless, she did not dare to go against Benjamin. So
all she could do was watch helplessly as her daughter suffered.
After much consideration, Benjamin decided to meet Jaxon.
Two bodyguards took turns keeping watch at the door to Isabe’s room and would constantly hear the
sound of things breaking in there. It was Isabe giving vent to her frustrations.
However, the room was unusually quiet today.
Even though they found that odd, they reckoned she was probably tired and had given
in.
They had no idea that Isabe was taking all her expensive clothes out of her closet and. tying them
into a long rope.
After racking her brain all day, she decided to take a risk and climb out through her
window.
She fastened the rope that she had fashioned out of her clothes onto her bed frame. Then, holding on
to the rope, she lowered herself step by step.
Luckily, the mansion was not very tall. Her room was on the third floor.
At that moment, her love of shopping was something she was grateful for, as that was the reason she
had enough clothes to make such a long rope.
The guards only stood watch at what they believed was the only exit. Isabe escaping through her
window was not something they would ever expect.
When Isabe reached the first floor, her mother saw her.
Isabe’s mother felt guilty for not being able to help Isabe back then, so this time, she intended to
help.
After giving Isabe back her phone, she drove a car out while Isabe hid in the back
s cat.
No one found it odd or suspicious when they saw Isabe’s mother driving off.
Just like that, Isabe was taken outside the mansion.
Meanwhile, Benjamin and Jaxon were at a clubhouse.

Chapter 1561
Jaxon was a smart man-he knew that Benjamin was ambitious. If he didn’t disclose. that he was rted
to the Sullivan family, he probably couldn’t be Benjamin’s son- inw.
After listening to Jaxon, Benjamin was dumbfounded. He never expected Jaxon to be Thomas’
illegitimate son.
As he sized Jaxon up, a cu nning thought came to his mind, ‘Even though this kid is an illegitimate child
and not the son-inw I would choose, I can settle for less. He’s not half bad.
“Isabe said she’s pregnant with his child. It’s a done deal. Besides, she’s so determined that she’s
even resisting by refusing to cat. As her father, I shouldn’t push her to the brink, especially since I now
know who Jaxon is. With my help, he might even be the head of the Sullivan family.”
That thought put Benjamin in a great mood.
He said solemnly, “When do you n to marry Isabe? Since her belly will get bigger, the sooner the
better.”
Jaxon was confused. “What’s going on? Whose belly is getting bigger?’ he thought.
Before he could respond, Benjamin made the decision instead of asking him. “Let’s have the wedding
in two weeks. Also, you’re ultimately a member of the Sullivan family, so you should try to reim
what’s yours.”
Benjamin was taking an indirect approach.
Right then, he received a call from his subordinate informing him that Isabe had escaped through a
window.
The person on the other end of the call was waiting to hear his punishment, yet Benjamin was very
calm.
He had locked Isabe up to put her to the test. He wanted to know if she was acting on impulse or if
she had developed feelings for Jaxon.
Judging from this, she was determined to marry Jaxon.
“All right,” Benjamin replied calmly.
After Isabe escaped from the Jennings residence, she went straight to Jaxon’s house, but it was
empty.
At that moment, Jaxon’s phone rang as well. It was Isabe.
He got up and walked to a corner to answer the phone.

Clupter 156
He learned that Isabe was grounded and had escaped, and now, she wanted to seek refuge with
him.
Jaxon rubbed his temples and told her the password to his house.
After he returned to his seat, Benjamin nced at Jaxon’s expression and teased, “That must be
Isabe. She escaped from home toe to you.”
Jaxon had no intention of hiding it, so he nodded.
“Go back and tell her that I’ve agreed to your marriage.” Benjamin also had no desire to talk too much.
With that, he got up and left.
*****
As soon as Jaxon got home, he saw Isabe in a miserable state.
She resembled a princess on the run and was scouring his home for food.
After going without food for two days while trying to outwit her bodyguards, Isabe felt as though she
could devour a cow.
As she was scarfing down a grilled sausage, Jaxon told her that her father had agreed to their
marriage.
She choked on her food, possibly because she was incredibly thrilled or surprised.
Jaxon hurriedly poured a ss of water and handed it to her.
As he watched her, he became somewhat dazed. He felt as if he was looking at Olivia during university,
innocent and not at all wary of him.
