I love (hate) how from the first scene where we actually get to see Jekyll, we see just how manipulative he is.
Utterson brings up the will. Jekyll immediately tries to change the topic to 'Bitching About Lanyon.'
Utterson persists. Jekyll tries to play dumb about the reason Utterson brings it up.
Utterson name drops Hyde. Jekyll looks uncomfortable and asks to drop the subject.
Utterson pushes forward. Jekyll tries to win Utterson's pity without telling him anything.
Jekyll even butters Utterson up, saying that the concern is "downright good of you" and that he'd trust Utterson over anyone else, and it works! Utterson begins to let it drop.
But now JEKYLL starts pushing Utterson, insisting that he promise as his friend to take care of Hyde should it be necessary, and effectively getting what he wants out of the will situation in the first place. And Utterson agrees!
Jekyll took what was initially an uncomfortable interrogation and turns it around so that he finally gets Utterson on his side without revealing a damn thing.
And that's where some of that horror element is supposed to come in - if he was an upstanding guy like Utterson thinks, none of this would feel calculated. It's all a perfectly natural way to behave when pressed on a sore subject. It's why Utterson gives in at all!
But we know Jekyll's selfish as hell. Of course he knew exactly what he was doing.
And if anything, it proves Utterson's main weakness is the blind spot he has when it comes to Jekyll.

Utterson: I incline to Cain’s heresy; I let my brother go to the devil in his own way.
Jekyll: *leaves all his earthly goods to Hyde in the case of his disappearance*
Utterson: ...Nevermind I'm gonna hunt down this devil and tear Henry Jekyll out of its grasp with my own bare hands
