Bob has a quasi-contractual obligation to return the money because a quasi-contract is a legal construct that obligates a party to pay for a benefit they received, even if there was no actual contract, to prevent unjust enrichment. Since Bob received money that was not intended for him, he is obligated to return it to prevent being unjustly enriched at Anna's or Cora's expense.
