The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 481

An officer stood up, casting his findings onto the large screen.

"According to our investigation, Frank Farrell, the original owner of Costello Ranch, didn't just up and leave out of nowhere."

"Frank and his wife, Cheryl Carter, had been planning to sell the ranch for a long time. However, offloading a property of that size is difficult, so the couple had been biding their time while looking for a buyer."

"Luminport City isn't exactly prime real estate for the livestock industry, but Frank inherited the ranch from his family. The location was prime, and after taking over the family business, he built up a substantial fortune."

"We found out that Frank and Cheryl were planning to emigrate."

"Emigrate?"

Someone remembered a detail and asked, "Were they planning to move to the country where their son is studying?"

"Yes."

"Frank's son, Morgan Farrell, got into a decent university abroad, majoring in finance. He probably planned to stay there and work after graduation. The parents wanted to take their daughter and join him."

"Frank's daughter, Dora Farrell, hasn't even started high school yet, so they didn't have to worry about her falling behind academically after the move."

Nathan finally chimed in, "How many people knew about this?"

"Very few."

The officer replied, "Frank and Cheryl were incredibly cautious. Maybe they were just used to keeping a low profile and knew better than to flaunt their wealth. Most of their acquaintances only knew that their son was successful enough to study abroad. They had no idea the whole family was planning to leave the country."

"Because of that, the family of four has been missing for this long without anyone noticing."

"Another reason is that the kids were away at school, and Frank and Cheryl often stayed at the house on the ranch instead of in the city. People simply didn't realize they were gone, assuming they were just going about their daily lives."

"We pulled the surveillance footage, and just as their neighbors said, the couple didn't even mention to anyone that they had sold the ranch to someone else."

Nora found this a bit strange.

"What about Frank's family?"

The ranch was an inherited estate, which meant it shouldn't just belong to Frank, but to anyone in his extended family lineage.

For him to quietly sell off a family estate like this, did the other relatives not have a problem with it?
