obdurately
With hardened resolve
Obdurately means in a stubbornly unyielding manner, refusing to change one's position or be persuaded: She obdurately refused to apologize.
The word suggests a hardened resistance that goes beyond mere persistence—someone acting obdurately remains unmoved by appeals, arguments, or pressure that might soften others.
