let alone try to deny the situation
'let alone ' is one of the equivalents of 'apalagi' given in Alan Stevens dictionary.
'sok gengsi' can be interpreted as 'putting on airs' but here I think it simply implies an attempt to pretend that everything in the garden is lovely when the real situation is not so good:
'try to deny the situation' would be my suggestion.
So: "There is no need to be embarrassed, let alone try to deny the situation'.
