The Horton Family’s 60th Anniversary Weekend at Horton House – the lights, the orchestra, the gowns… but no one knew they were about to witness an unprecedented “unmasking of the truth.”

Tate and Holly decided to show the uncensored documentary.

On the big screen, Tom Horton appeared, his voice booming: “Truth is the foundation of any legacy.” Then, the video cut to Thomas lying in the hospital, Jennifer sobbing, Chad staring – and finally, an old letter mentioning a medical cover-up during Tom’s time.

The room fell silent. Julie Williams put down her glass of wine, Marie Horton clutched her chest, and Jennifer stepped up to the podium, her voice trembling but determined: “If it’s true, then we’ll face it.”

The words were met with thunderous applause – both a declaration and the start of a battle.

The gala became a scene of emotion: amidst the shimmering lights, people saw faces distorted by memories, fake handshakes, and real tears.

When the screen turned off, the camera panned to Chad – he left the hall, his lips pressed together. Outside, the rain fell, his shadow melted into the night. Salem had never been so beautiful and cold.
