しかも

Meaning
前の事柄に加えてさらに付け加える
Explanation
「しかも」 is an additive expression that, in addition to the previous matter, adds yet another matter. It differs from 逆接 'showing contrasting content' or the usage of 'fully negating.' Grasp it as a word with the same function as 「その上」 and 「おまけに」.
Original Japanese explanation

「しかも」は前の事柄に加えて、さらに別の事柄を付け加える添加の表現です。「反対の内容を示す」逆接や「全面的に否定する」用法とは違います。「その上」「おまけに」と同じ働きをする語だと押さえましょう。
