When she confronted him about the women he was screwing, he promised her he had ended it before they left Neev. Aesop launched an investigation to find the culprits, but it yielded nothing. By then, Chloe had separated the wealth and Aesop was only entitled to allowances for the work he did for Diamond corp. She said he wouldn’t use her money to cheat on her.
