My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

So, the reason why Natalie had committed suicide was because she had been humiliated multiple times and disfigured.

No wonder Josiah had tried to destroy me with sulphuric acid. He didn't care to hurt me in the same way. He just wanted me to die.

"There was no enmity between your family and those people though. Why were they so ruthless?" Even if there was enmity, there was no reason for them to be so vicious.

He shook his head and sighed, "Jarold City was chaotic back in those days. There were many innocent girls who suffered the same fate as Natalie. Pedro was powerful, and he wanted to cleanse himself of his bad reputation, so he kicked most of his gang members out. These people were trying to discredit the Moore Family, so when they learned that the daughter whom Pedro had lost for many years was also a girl in her teens, they specifically targeted those girls who walked alone at night. Their methods were extremely cruel."

Such a thing was just outrageous. I felt extreme anger in an instant, "How could they do this?"

"It's also precisely because of this incident that Pedro started to look for his daughter in a much more low-profile manner. He quietly inquired about her whereabouts and no longer openly searched for her."

I roughly understood the situation. So, Josiah had attributed Natalie's death to Hendrix not answering the phone, which resulted in him not being able to save Natalie in time.

Any woman who suffered such humiliation, even if she had managed to survive, would not have the courage to continue living, especially since she had been disfigured.
