Chapter 497 A Life And Death Struggle
Yessenia had been depressed for too long.
Her parents had gone to the management company to make trouble because of her sister's death, but the result was not ideal. Her mother fell ill because of this.
Infant even called the police. He wanted to get justice for his daughter even if he had to go bankrupt. However, the management company got Johanna's suicide note from somewhere and wanted to use money to seal her family's mouth.
Yessenia still remembered the ugly face of Gabriel's agent when he came to her with the suicide note.
"You either take the money and shut up or we completely destroy Johanna."
"Even if the deceased don't want their reputations, you have more than one daughter. Once news of Johanna being slept by the company's higher-ups gets out, her sister will probably not be able to find a good husband in the future, right?"
Hearing the news, Yessenia's parents were both sad and desperate.
They hated themselves for not being able to seek justice for their eldest daughter and for not being able to protect their youngest daughter.
In the end, there was no other way. For the sake of Johanna's reputation and Yessenia's future, their family still compromised.
Infant, who had always been strong, seemed to be ten years older overnight. He became more and more silent. Gradually, he no longer cared about the affairs of his company. In the end, he simply sold the company and took Niamh abroad for treatment.
Infant originally wanted to take Yessenia with him. With a scumbag like Gabriel in the entertainment industry, Yessenia would never stand out.
She might even be threatened by Gabriel again to do something that went against her conscience.
However, Yessenia was determined to stay and find out the truth about her sister's death, waiting for the day of Gabriel's retribution.
Moreover, Yessenia was about to graduate from the music academy. If she left at this time, it would not be good for her development.
Infant couldn't do anything about the stubborn Yessenia, and Niamh's illness couldn't be delayed. He had no choice but to let Yessenia stay in the country alone. He planned to take Yessenia away when Niamh's condition stabilized in one or two years.
Fortunately, Yessenia's appearance was not as outstanding as Johanna's. In addition, her character was a little eccentric, so she was not Gabriel's cup of tea.
Gabriel didn't do anything to Yessenia.
The reason why Yessenia came to participate in "Treasure 101" was purely to try and see if she could make her debut with her own ability. She came to participate alone and did not sign with any agency. She thought that she would not be controlled by others in this way, but she did not expect to meet Gabriel here.
God knew how much effort she had used to suppress her desire to kill when she saw Gabriel's face in the meeting hall. She forced herself to calm down.
At first, Yessenia wanted to withdraw from the competition, but before she came to the competition, she had already signed a contract with the program group. She could not withdraw from the competition without any valid reason, otherwise, she would have to pay three times the penalty.
She didn't have that much money and couldn't afford to withdraw from the competition for no reason, so she stayed.
Yessenia tried her best to keep a low profile. On the day of the preliminary contest, her performance was normal. Gabriel, who was on the instructor seat, seemed to recognize her, but he didn't show it. Even his comments on her were ordinary.
Yessenia heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, it was Eliza's turn to introduce herself on the stage.
Eliza seemed to be totally opposite from Yessenia.
Yessenia kept a low profile, but Eliza kept a high profile, and it was a high profile that surpassed all the contestants present.
To be honest, Yessenia envied her very much.
Eliza's smile was so bright, without a trace of haze, as if she had never suffered in her life. No matter what was in front of her, she could rely on her passion to bravely go ahead.
She was fearless and even had the confidence to speak. She could even confront the mentor.
She was so strong that everyone on the scene remembered her face and name in the short confrontation with the mentor.
When Joye was taken away by the police, everyone felt relieved. At the same time, Eliza's situation was particularly dangerous because of this.
Just like what Yessenia was worried about, Gabriel was indeed interested in Eliza. She had even seen it many times. When the camera moved away, Gabriel would show a disgusting expression that he coveted Eliza.
Perhaps it was the heavens that had decided that she wouldn't be able to escape the fate of being controlled by Gabriel.
Coincidentally, she was with Eliza in the first grouping, and they were even in the same group.
Because of this opportunity, Gabriel still found her.
Just as she decided to open her heart to Eliza, just as she was about to turn from a teammate to a friend, Gabriel made a very excessive request to her.
"If you don't want your sister's videos to be exposed, then help me get Eliza."
He was still so superior and commanding.
He was still arrogant and did not take her seriously at all.
At that moment, Yessenia really wanted to stab Gabriel to death with a knife.
She was willing to die with him.
But she hesitated because she was afraid.
Yessenia wasn't Eliza. She didn't have Mr. Valentine backing her, nor did she have the courage to face everything directly. She had to consider her sister's reputation and her parents' situation and mood.
She had no choice but to cooperate with Gabriel.
Yessenia promised that she would create trouble for Eliza so that Gabriel could have a chance to get close to her. However, she insisted that she wouldn't help Gabriel cheat Eliza out, nor would she agree to drug Eliza's drinks.
"Eliza is Mr. Valentine's wife. If something happens to her because of me, I, as the accomplice, will definitely not have a good end."
"Maybe Mr. Valentine can't do anything to you, but he won't let me go."
"My sister is dead. If you don't want to give me a way out, we can struggle for life and death!"
Perhaps it was because Yessenia's expression was too vicious when she said those words that Gabriel was rather afraid. After some consideration, Gabriel accepted her suggestion.
Hence, Yessenia proposed a change of team with the director. Before leaving, she wanted to backstab Eliza again.
Compared to letting Eliza be violated by Gabriel, the temporary change of team might have brought a lot of trouble to Eliza, but this was the best way Yessenia could think of to protect herself and Eliza.
Even if Eliza hated her because of this and wanted to break ties with her, Yessenia would accept it.
Yessenia stayed in the practice room in a daze for a whole day. She was like a walking dead.
Just as she was hesitating if she should return to the dormitory, she suddenly heard that something had happened to Eliza.
She panicked and didn't even have time to think before following someone to watch the scene of Eliza and Gabriel's confrontation.
Yessenia hid in the crowd and looked at the knife wound on Gabriel's arm. She saw that Gabriel was hysterically questioning Eliza, but Eliza had easily overturned him. In the end, he could only feel incompetent and mad.
She suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
Eliza did what she wanted to do but didn't dare to do.
This was the first time that Yessenia had seen Gabriel suffer such a big loss.
When the matter was settled and the crowd dispersed, Yessenia followed Eliza back to the dormitory.
Then she heard the conversation between Eliza and Roseane at the door and knew the truth of Eliza punishing Gabriel.
There was a burst of hope in her heart.
She would never be able to bring down Gabriel with her own strength.
Was that possible for Eliza?
