THE HELPER IN THE MANSION IS THE LOST CHILD — THE “SENYORITA” IS THE CHILD OF THE BEGGAR WHO WAS JUST REPLACED
THE CRUEL SENYORITA
Elena is a hard-working maid in the Villafuerte mansion. She is kind, but Vanessa, the only child of Don Ricardo and Donya Marissa, is always angry with her.

“You idiot!” Vanessa shouted as she spilled hot coffee on the floor. “I said Iced Coffee! Why is it hot?! Do you want to burn me?!”

“Sorry, Ma’am Vanessa,” Elena replied, bending down as she mopped the floor.

“Pick that up with your hands!” Vanessa ordered. “You’re a thing on the floor. You’re a slob. Not like me, born with a silver spoon.”

Donya Marissa watched this silently from a distance. She felt a pain in her chest. He couldn’t understand why Vanessa was so mean, while the couple was known for being so helpful.

Every time he looked at Elena, he felt a strange connection. It was as if he wanted to hug and protect her.

THE ACCIDENT
One day, while preparing for Vanessa’s 20th Birthday Celebration, Donya Marissa suddenly had a heart attack. She fell down the stairs and hit her head.

“Mommy!” Vanessa shouted, but she didn’t come closer because she was afraid of the blood. “Nanny! Call an ambulance! Eww, there’s so much blood!”

Elena was the one who acted quickly. She hugged Donya and pressed her head wound with her apron.

“Ma’am, fight,” Elena cried.

At the hospital, Donya Marissa was in critical condition. She needed a Blood Transfusion immediately because of the amount of blood she had lost. The problem was, her blood was Type AB Negative—a very rare blood type.

“Who is in the family here?” the Doctor asked. “We need a donor. Vanessa, you are the child. What is your blood type?”

Vanessa turned pale. “Ah… uh… I am Type O. I am afraid of needles! I can’t have my blood drawn!”

“Doc!” Elena shouted. “Me! I am AB Negative! We have the same blood type as Ma’am Marissa!”

Everyone was shocked. It is very rare for a boss and a maid to have the same blood type.

“Okay, draw her blood right now!”

THE SECRET OF DNA
While transfusing Elena’s blood to Donya Marissa, the Family Doctor, Dr. Cruz, noticed something.

He noticed a birthmark on Elena’s arm while drawing her blood. It was in the shape of a butterfly.

Dr. Cruz remembered that 20 years ago, the Villafuerte family’s missing baby had the same mark.

Due to suspicion, Dr. Cruz secretly took hair samples from Elena, Vanessa, and Don Ricardo for a DNA Test.

The next day, the results came out.

Don Ricardo was already in the room, watching over his wife. Dr. Cruz entered, his face serious.

“Ricardo,” the doctor said. “There’s something you need to know. It’s about your daughter.”

“Vanessa? What’s the problem?”

“Vanessa is not your daughter,” the doctor replied. He handed over the paper. “Elena. Your maid. She’s your real daughter.”

Don Ricardo’s eyes widened. He read the results: ELENA – 99.9% MATCH. VANESSA – 0% MATCH.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PAST
Don Ricardo immediately called the NBI to investigate the past.

They discovered an old nurse who confessed to the crime.

Twenty years ago, a beggar’s real daughter died in the hospital. At the same time, Donya Marissa gave birth. Out of jealousy and a desire for money, a beggar stole Marissa’s child (Elena) and left her in an orphanage. He replaced her with another baby he found on the street (Vanessa) and pretended to be the child of a rich man to ask for a reward, but in the end he just left her there to “make life better.”

Vanessa is the daughter of a beggar syndicate. Elena is the real Villafuerte.

THE JUDGMENT
When Donya Marissa woke up, Don Ricardo told her everything. Donya cried and called Elena and Vanessa.

Vanessa was still in her gown, ready for her party. Elena was still in her uniform.

“Mommy, Daddy, why is that maid here?” Vanessa snapped.

“Don’t call your sister a maid… or should I say, the real owner of the life you stole,” Don Ricardo said angrily.

“What?!” Vanessa was shocked.

Don Ricardo threw the DNA Test in Vanessa’s face.

“I’m not your daughter, Vanessa. You’re the daughter of a criminal. Elena… she’s our flesh and blood.”

Donya Marissa approached Elena. She touched her face and saw the butterfly birthmark.

“My daughter…” the Donya sobbed. “Forgive us if we took you away from your own home.”

THE SWAP OF PLACES
“That’s not true!” Vanessa shouted. “I’m the daughter! I’m the rich one! She, she’s just a servant!”

“Guard!” Don Ricardo shouted. “Let this woman out. She has no right to my last name.”

“Dad! Mommy!” Vanessa begged as the guard pulled her away.

“Don’t call me Mommy,” said Donya Marissa. “My real daughter, willing to give blood for me. You, you let me die.”

Vanessa was dragged out of the mansion—back to the street where she really came from. She had saved nothing because of luxury, and she had no friends because of her bad habits.

Elena was left behind. Her real parents hugged her.

“Elena,” Don Ricardo said. “Get dressed. You’re going to put on the gown. You’re going to celebrate tonight. Welcome home, son.”

That night, the former floor cleaner was recognized as the Sole Heiress of the Villafuerte Empire. They had proven that gold, even if you cover it with mud (like the maid’s uniform), will remain gold. And bronze, even if you cover it with gold (like Vanessa’s gown), will rust and its true color will also come out.

THE END
