On Election Day, Ethan Kingsley forfeited his chance to give a speech, causing him to lose a portion of undecided supporters. Ultimately, Adrian Quincy defeated him with over half the votes, securing a landslide victory.
After the election, former President Arthur Lockwood took the stage at Sovereign Plaza to announce Adrian Quincy as the winner and president-elect. The inauguration ceremony was scheduled for the following day.
That night, Ethan Kingsley posted a message on Weibo that sent shockwaves across the country—
[I hereby announce that effective immediately, I am canceling my engagement to Corinne Linden. I will be dedicating myself to business permanently and will not pursue any other profession. I ask the Astoria Daily to publish this statement as official confirmation.]
