““We are required to uphold the verdict if there is any theory of the evidence on which the jury could properly have reached the verdict . . . We are not called upon to speculate as to the grounds upon which the jury proceeded . . . We must assume that the jury’s verdict rests upon a finding of fact which will sustain the verdict where, as here, the record discloses that there is evidence which would support such a finding.””
