regardless
Explanation:
Cf. "carry on regardless". If you say that someone did something regardless, you mean that they did it even though there were problems or factors that could have stopped them, or perhaps should have stopped them.

As Sophie notes above, there are several options available, for example "just like that/as though nothing had happened/willy-nilly...", although "regardless" is more succinct.
