Indignantly

p. 54: "But I wasn't even trying," he explained indignantly, "I wasn't even trying."

Indignant: angered at something unjust or wrong.

Indignant (adjective)
Indignantly (adverb)
Indignance (noun)

Bruno indignantly said that his use of taxpayer-paid lawyers was “totally appropriate.”

It's disappointing to see that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals lack the ethics they so indignantly demand from the rest of us.
