AITAH for not returning the business I inherited from my late father in law after I got divorced?

My late father in law passed away over a decade ago, he owned a car shop and I started working for him when I was a 15 year old kid because I always loved working with my hands and I was always obsessed with cars, it’s actually how I met my now ex wife his daughter. He had 4 kids two sons and two daughters, all of them were lawyers and doctors and I was the only one besides him who had anything to do with the business, so when he stepped down and retired once he got too sick from cancer he passed it down to me, nobody had a problem with it, he later passed away that same year and I’ve run and expanded the shop ever since. A few years ago my wife cheated on me with another doctor that she works with and we got divorced, since we live in an at fault state and I had prove of her cheating I got to keep the house and most of the money and no alimony, we don’t have any children because she’s infertile so also no child support. Now she and her whole family are demanding I give up my business and give it back but I won’t, the transition was done legally and I still have all the paperwork, there’s nothing they can do about it, and now they’re almost begging me because it’s their dad’s legacy and I’m not part of his family anymore so I shouldn’t have it, but now and for years now it’s been my legacy as well and I’ve put blood and tears into it and I won’t give it up until I retire.

Am I the asshole here?
