As I said, this is only a problem if it is unplaned and I cannot see Gabriel allowing something like this happening without a plan. So, any confession would fit in a wider context of setting Lila up to take the fall - the evil liar who duped a trusting man who just wanted someone to help him protect his son for her own selfish motives. He will be prepared to neutralise or even discredit anything Lila may say about him, including claims of malicious behaviour on his part.

After all, the girl is a compulsive liar and probably mentally disordered to boot. Are you seriously thinking that anyone would believe her over Gabriel? I don't think even Adrien and Marinette would do so. If Lila has any brains, she'll take it on the chin and do her time in reform school rather than make it necessary for Gabriel to completely destroy her.

Now, for what it's worth, I suspect that if there is going to be a betrayal, it will be Lila betraying Hawkmoth and that is likely to be spontaneous, ill-planned and likely to blow up in the perpetrator's face in relatively short order. However, I doubt that Lila would be able to resist the possibility of getting power without strings attached if it is carelessly left out somewshere where she can take it at a minimum risk. In any case, she's the sort of personality that would assume that she is too clever to be caught or face any consequendes and that would probably cost her in the end.
