Hi

Could you please provide me with a synonymous expression for "for that matter" in the following sentence(s)?

1- I did not ask to be kidnapped-- or released for that matter.

2- Don't talk to me like that, or to anyone else for that matter.

The idiom 'for that matter' can be replaced by 'in fact' or 'actually', for example.
