Read the passage from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

"No,” said the other. "I cannot say that I care what becomes of Hyde; I am quite done with him. I was thinking of my own character, which this hateful business has rather exposed.”

Based on Jekyll’s internal conflict, the best inference is that he feels

relieved that Hyde is finally gone.
confused that Utterson dislikes Hyde.
ashamed of his association with Hyde.
angry that Utterson asks him about Hyde.

ashamed of his association with Hyde.

He worries that the "hateful business" has exposed his own character, showing shame about being tied to Hyde rather than relief, confusion, or anger.
