rebelliously
In open defiance
In a manner that defies authority or resists control.
Someone who acts rebelliously challenges rules, expectations, or conventions: She rebelliously refused to wear the uniform, He rebelliously stayed out past curfew.
The word often carries a note of deliberate defiance rather than mere disobedience.
