Amanda’s deception unraveled when Benjamin discovered her theft. A struggle ensued with Wilson, an accomplice, leading to a surprising escape. Benjamin chose not to involve the police, seeking only to retrieve the stolen money.

In a selfless act, Benjamin used the recovered money to fund Brian’s surgery without revealing his identity. His only wish was for Brian not to know the source, sparing him guilt.

Victor reveals Benjamin’s subsequent tragic life – bankruptcy, menial jobs, and a lonely existence. Benjamin held onto hope, attending church and longing for his sons’ forgiveness until his last days.
