Answer Details

At the end of Ovonramwen's discussion with Gallway and Hutton, one can conclude that Ovonramwen is suspicious about their real intentions. This is evident from his refusal to sign the trade treaty presented to him by Gallway and Hutton. He asks them to leave and come back when they are ready to negotiate with him as a king, not as a servant. This shows that Ovonramwen is aware of the possibility that the British might have ulterior motives for their visit and he is not willing to be taken advantage of.
