Molly took the book and planned to pay Pat. Meanwhile, Pat properly assigned the contract Molly had signed to Jack. When Molly went to class, however, she discovered that the book was the incorrect book. When Jack asked Molly for payment, Molly refused. Molly told Jack that the book was useless to her and that she was not paying either him or Pat anything for it. Jack told Molly that he had an enforceable assignment in the form of a negotiable instrument and that he could collect regardless of whether the book was useless. Molly did not believe him.
