The Answer to the Pronoun の Question
 According to my linguistics textbook "An Introduction to Japanese Linguistics" by Natsuko Tsujimura, Japanese has this thing called "internally headed relative clauses" these do not exist in English. 

Grammarly, the head(the true form of の) of the clause "ジャックが止めるのも聞かずアニーは…' is ambiguous. It could be ジャック or　アニー as illustrated by sentences 188, and 192


188)
そのおまわりは　学生が　スパイを　くみふせた　のを　撃ち殺した。

192 (breakdowns)

そのおまわりは　スパイをくみふせた　学生を　撃ち殺した。
the cop shot and killed the student who held down the spy


そのおまわりは　学生が　くみふせた　スパイを　撃ち殺した。
The cop shot and killed the spy who held the student down.


Using this, we can guess from context that the sentence was

アニを止めるジャッくも聞かず
"Annie without listen to Jack who was stoping her"
So the large form this the clasue is...
アニーはジャックがアニーを止めるジャックも聞かず、
which is definetly a mounth full, so no wounder no one talks like that.
