Jeffery Marsh · Answer 1

E) Valerie

Explanation:

Going by the information in the above question, Valerie gets the watch

According to the law, the Watch will belong to Valerie and not Billy, and for the reason that one cannot buy something from anyone which doesn't belong to them.

So, the initial transaction that took place with Theona and Andy was null and void as well as any subsequent transaction were also nullified.
