storm off

Exit in fury

To storm off is to leave abruptly in anger or frustration, usually making your displeasure obvious through quick, forceful movement: She stormed off after the argument.

The phrase suggests theatrical exit rather than quiet withdrawal—slamming doors, heavy footsteps, refusing to look back.
