stormed out

Departed in anger

To storm out is to leave a place abruptly and angrily, usually after a confrontation or disagreement.

The departure itself becomes a statement—slamming doors, refusing to continue a conversation: She stormed out of the meeting when they rejected her proposal.

The phrase implies dramatic exit rather than quiet withdrawal.
