OK as corrected. It's something like, "Let's see how you feel when I abandon you, and you have to do that work by yourself."

Thank you,

But is that something a native speaker would say?

Yes, except that a native speaker would not add "Stop laughing" at the end. That is more or less implied by the rest of what was said.

Which part of it bothers you? "We'll see who ..." or "leave you to ..."? They are both fairly standard idiomatic expressions that people use.

Ok thank you, none of it bothers me.

I had one thing regarding the sentence.

Can you add "last" in the following:

- We'll see who laughs last when you fail you're exam. You're laughing, but I'll have the last laugh.

Thank you

Yes. "to laugh last" or "to have the last laugh" are both idiomatic English.
