heartlessly
In cold blood
Heartlessly means without compassion or feeling for others' suffering.
Someone who acts heartlessly shows no sympathy or mercy: She heartlessly dismissed his concerns, The company heartlessly laid off workers right before the holidays.
The word emphasizes cold indifference where warmth would be expected.
