Vincent was a legendary master in jade carvings, an existence that was at the top of the industry. She knew fully well that even a well-known singer like her couldn't come close in comparison.

Therefore, Lydia was deeply honored to know Foley, even if he was just Vincent's nominal disciple.

She felt even more proud that she could invite and introduce him to the trainees. On top of that, she also managed to cancel Maria's class, which was a huge bonus for her.

“Are... Are you really the nominal disciple of Master Geoffrey?" a student couldn't help but ask in a slightly excited tone.

Clearing his throat, Foley said proudly, “In this world, no one dares to pretend to be Mr. Geoffrey's formal disciple. Even as a nominal disciple, it's already a great honor. I was given this title twenty years ago, and ever since then, his teachings have affected my style in art creation."

The students burst into an uproar after hearing such a profound statement.

Of course, they knew that Vincent was a Living legend. And now, the disciple of that Legend was right in front of them.

Even if he was just a nominal disciple, it was enough to make them Look up to him and respect him.

But then after a moment, they suddenly remembered Maria, who was still up there on the platform. They thought that she must be pretty embarrassed because of what was happening.

“Miss Jenkins, for the final time, could you please leave the platform? Unless you think your course is more important than Professor Todd's. Is that what you're trying to say?"

Maria didn't really answer back, but Lydia didn't intend to let her go that easily.

“Professor Todd's lecture on aesthetics contains knowledge related to Mr. Geoffrey's art. If you don't get out of the way and let these students learn about it, won't you be looking down upon Mr. Geoffrey and his art?"

As soon as Lydia finished her sentence, Foley's expression changed drastically. Of course, she only phrased it that way to make Maria look bad.

However, Foley took the bait and confronted Maria with a darkened face. Seeing her upfront, he was surprised to find that Maria was still so young to be an instructor. But it didn't matter to him. He stood firmly and said coldly, "You! Get off the platform right now!"

Maria never took the initiative to offend others because she was a reasonable person.

But if someone deliberately made things difficult for her first, she wouldn't just stand idly by and receive such degrading remarks.

“Why are you yelling? Do you not know how to talk without yelling?” Maria glared at Foley coldly, but she didn't raise her voice. Her words were direct, but she controlled herself.

On the other hand, Foley was stunned, and the arrogant expression on his face turned into embarrassment.

“Professor Clemens invited me sincerely, and the organizers of this program also approved of me to share Mr. Geoffrey's aesthetic art with you. But you refused to step down from the platform. Just Like what Professor Clemens said, you are trying to deny my qualification in giving this lecture, and you're also denying Mr. Geoffrey's art!"

Not imagining that someone would dare talk back to him, Foley became more frustrated.
