What is the meaning of 「いや、知っていて」 in this sentence?


> 娘の気持ちも知らずに、いや、知っていて、平気でそんな風に言えるのがヒロシだ。  
>  The one speaking with indifference like that, without understanding his
> daughter's feelings, is Hiroshi.

My translation doesn't include the いや、知っていて part. I'm struggling to even guess
what this means. Maybe "knowing he's being unpleasant"?

I suspect there are a few words/particles missing here, but I can't fill in
the gaps.




To me it reads as though いや、知っていて is the author changing his mind mid-
sentence:

"Even without knowing his daughter's feelings.. **no, even knowing them...**
this is a Hiroshi who has no problem saying something like that."
