Hi,
There's not enough context to interpret this. Much would also depend on intonation, facial expression, body language, etc.

The most common meaning woud be 'continue'. Yours is also possible.

Yep, body language is the key!

Lionel grabs her hand rudely and says

Go on as if she's getting in his way or something.

So he wants her to leave?
